Welcome to the Disability Community!

@SilentSerenityy I joined the disability because Mmm.I believe I’m disabled. Why can stand or walk very much anymore, My short term memory is shot, I starting to have problems thinking . My cognitive thinking is a problem and I’m also have verbal speech problems. By this I mean Ithink. Something then try and say it a nonsense comes outI hear what I’m saying and it makes sense to me but my wife and son keep asking me to repeat what I said several times. Oh, and of thing is I applied for disability and was told I didn’t qualify. So my question is How bad do you have to be to get disability. Or am I just crazy.

Welcome to the community! It sounds like you're dealing with a lot, yet disability benefits people don't seem to be appreciating this and how you're so affected by your conditions, and I'm sorry to hear that. I hope some day soon you're able to get the support you need though. We're happy to have you here. <3

@SilentSerenityy. Thank you so much for your reply. Happily some forward movement is just beginning . “Hopefully “🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼, All Fingers Crossed . And Toes but there’s no emoji for that 🤔🤗

Hello everyone, I joined the community bc I felt that I needed to branch out but also I'm hoping that my life experience with Spastic Triplegic Cerebral Palsy will bring knowledge & hope to some. I'm an open book & happy to chat with anyone 😊

@theprodigalsister Thank you for sharing with us. Maybe one day you could create a thread here in the Resources section to educate the community of your condition? We're so happy to have you here!

@SilentSerenityy hii I've messaged you privately can you please check....

@BenittaJ Sorry, I've responded now. :)

Hello everyone! I’m currently working on getting diagnosed for my chronic pain and joint problems. I’ve talked with my PCP about hypermobile spectrum disorder/hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, fibromyalgia, POTS, and migraines, and I am getting set up with specialists now. I’ve already been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I’m in various degrees of pain every day. I’m only 35 and work in a physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding field. I just want to not hurt every day!
