Cant afford my meds right now so I have been kind of spacing it out so I dont have to go cold turkey. I am feeling dizzy and nauseous. I havent seen my doc in 5 months because copay was too high and dh lost job and I just quit my job in Nov. I really feel like I cant work anymore due to my thoughts and moods. Sometimes I really scare myself. How would I go about talking with my doc about possible disability. I am bipolar, I have been diagnosed by another doc in the past with having post traumatic stress disorder and dissociative personality disorder. I also have anxiety and depression. I suffer from degenerative disc disease in my back with chronic herniated discs and osteo arthritis in the same area. Do you think these things might help my chances? The psychological problems have been documented since 2000 as well as my back problems. With the physical and mental issues it makes it very difficult to even get through the day sometimes. My meds do help but for some reason I seem to go through cycles where I get really bad with dangerous thoughts and then I am fine. I never know when it will get bad again and it really scares me. thanks for any advice.
