Cant work so like obviously it’s just going to accumulate at a rate I could never keep up with. Have a 660 credit score with 16k in debt NOT INCLUDING MEDICAL which will be practically endless at this point. Whats my best course of action only been denied one loan so far that was just me applying online tho.

Is getting a huge unpayable loan my only option?

Pending SSDI only a year in unfortunately

Imagine you’re just about to bite into your delicious bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich, first meal of the day!

Your stepdad walks up to you and starts speaking over your show,

“You know the good thing about your injury…🙃

*long sigh*

“It doesn’t involve your spine! That sciatic nerve, oh boy, your mom will tell you! I was down, unable to move for days! Blalablablabla”

I’m three bites into the sandwich already and he goes on for two more bites worth ( and i eat slow ) and finally I swallow my food and told him I’ve had two spinal injections, because I couldn’t walk…”

And he goes “Oh…” 🙃🤯

Omg like maybe shut your mouth all together and stop interrupting my show dickhead😩

My partner has BDP.

He acknowledges sometime he doesn’t realize he’s in an episode.

He acknowledges sometimes he’s so angry he can’t calm down.

My question is what can I do as a partner in the midst of these episodes when everything I say is contributing -1 point to the conversation because of their own mindset?

An example would be they came up to me and said dont leave the patio door open when you leave. I said “okay, im sorry” and that response seemed to anger them more. What can I even say?

Then they start thinking I’m mad at them even more when really I’m just chillin.

What does it feel like to be in this paranoid state? What does it feel like having your brain work against you in this way? I’ve struggled with depression but in some way I feel like this is different cause no matter WHAT I say, it seems to set fire to the “argument” when really nothing is going on.

My partner’s behavior is reminding me of Chicken little, they just always think the sky is falling and literally its just drizzling.

I need to gain some perspective into their mind cause I’m just lost😞

I finally withdrew all my investments to be able to afford this treatment let’s hope it fucking works! Need any and all advice!

I was told not to eat beforehand does this mean I can’t bring a snack? How if I start feeling nauseous? Should I bring a book or will I be too out of it? Anything to be weary of? Everything?!😩🤣

I got disabled at work almost two years ago and the company hasn’t paid me a single dime. I’m wondering if I withdraw all my investments now how this will come back to bite me in the future.

I have not worked for the past year so come tax time are they going to be asking me for money I don’t have? Some investments are coming by check in the mail and some direct deposited to my account. I have massive medical and school debt to pay off so any advice is appreciated. I also recently applied for SSDI if that matters!

At the grocery stores what happens if you click EBT CASH instead of EBT Food? Whats the difference ive only ever tapped food?

My claim was denied even though I’m still disabled and out of work from said injury. The judge believes I’m in pain but that its unrelated to the injury somehow.

How long will it take for them to review her decision?

Will I have to be deposed again/ go into court again?

What will the appeals court actually do to help me, I’ve been out of work for over a year with no payments.

Any advice helps!

Went to my PCP who wants to see me every three months for some reason.

She “couldn’t” scan my xray CD into the system because they don’t “have that here”… (isn’t this a DOCTORS OFFICE?!)

Ask for a work letter because I’ve been disabled for over two years now she’s gonna tell me 1. She can’t give me a work letter because they’re only for two weeks out…( I’ve been disabled all this time and she’s written me letters before with no issues😠) 2. “Why can’t your podiatrist write it?” (IS HE HERE?!”)

I was just so flabbergasted at this point but of course it got worse.

She then asked if I had applied to SSDI and then spouted on about how I need to focus on finding “something to do” and then asked me WHY I can’t find work!🥲😩 LIKE BITCH IF YOU WOULD LOOK AT THE FUCKING CHART IM SURE YOU WOULD SEE COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME AT THE FUCKING TOP! THAT SHIT SHOULD BE IN BOLD RED ATP!

I obviously broke down crying cause I clearly just told her I couldn’t afford any ketamine/scrambler therapy and she can CLEARLY see me in fucking crutches the dumb bitch😠

I told her I have no pain management doctor she didn’t even respond or offer a referral. I told her I need a higher prescription dosage she said to ask my psychiatrist. SO WHAT THE FUCK DOES SHE DO?!

On top of that she mentioned nothing about my abnormal blood work I already knew about from the portal but like WHY CANT SHE EVEN MENTION IT!

I’m so done, atp what’s the point of even going to the doctors, throwing myself into more debt over literally people who DO NOT CARE!

It’s so tiring…

I recently bought a topical cream for my crps foot and im not sure it necessarily “likes” the sensations its causing. Will prolonged use lead to some relief? Anyone had any luck with relieving their pain?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through SSDI approval with CRPS! I have CRPS in my left foot and my daily function is very limited. I elevate or lie down most of the day because even basic activities cause significant pain. Walking, weight-bearing, or even things like showering or using the bathroom can flare my symptoms. I can prepare simple meals, but only by hopping or standing on one leg.

Nothing provides actual relief not even sleeping anymore.

My partner is practically my caretaker, theres no way I’d be able to live alone without major accommodations needed for my non existent wheelchair because I’m broke asf.

I’m also in the middle of Workers comp if thats significant to the process. But I haven’t received a single payment since being injured over two years ago now.

How should I structure this to not get denied off rip?

I use a cane and crutches when I do leave my home, but I’m often unable to go out due to pain and flare-ups. I can drive but with significant pain, would definitely want to switch to hand controls in the future but again no way I can afford those.

I’m trying to understand how people structure their SSDI applications in situations like this? Any advice helps! Thank u in advance!

Y’all probably gonna get tired of me but, if we accidentally spilt boiling water on our affected limbs would it hurt LESS or MORE🤨 cause if the water spills off instantly we might not even feel it’s affects but vice versa would it’s intensity cause a terrible flare up instantly? Would the skin still burn/react the same since our limbs are so cold and skin so rough/numb/mute?!

The only thing I can base my theories off of so far has been my ingrown toenail removal on my crps foot. He used a freeze spray and that shit felt like a dip in one of the ice holes in the middle of an Antarctic cabin. But it didn’t practically nothing for the pain of the toe nail removal.

I also have had my affected limb in front a space heater before and it’ll take 3x as long to heat up compared to my normal foot. But them at a certain point it’ll start feeling like boiling hot lava and i’ll have to pull it away. 20 seconds later put it back and it’s back to warming up all over again.

This is why ultimately i think the small splash of boiling water might not instantly shock the system but the aftermath like the swelling/scabbing/ application of ointment might be the REAL pain of it all😩🙃

This is all jokes I am in no way talking about inflicting self harm or anything of that nature just curious if their has been any studies. Which sounds crazy because who would subject themselves to these wild studies.

Also anyone had experience in pools so far I have not attempted to swim nor bathe in a tub because foot doesn’t like submerging mainly because of the pressure. Anyone had any luck improving their resistance to water in general?

Also anyone have any good tips for driving. I HAVE to have a pillow and no shoe on for even the shortest trip down the road. I’m praying this doesn’t spread to my other foot. Does it cost money to get hand controls for your car as a disabled person?

Anyone dealt with a bone spur in their affected limb?! I’m just shocked like we really can’t win huh?
