Question
chomperjones
Hi, i am SC 100% P&T for bipolar, asthma and a few other things.
I tried to apply for ssdi, but was denied - in a nutshell they said "we see that you are disabled, but we have determined that you can adjust to other work. we do not have sufficient vocational information to determine whether you can perform any of your other work".
So i take this as them needing more proof that i am really a screwed up person (which unfortunately i am , mainly due to the extremeness of my bipolar).
So iread that i could get a doctor to fill out a form to better explain my issues.

BUT HERE ARE THE PROBLEMS.
1. My doctor does not have any openings until Nov, and its currently sept.
2. The therapist at the outpatient clinic will not have any openings until JANUARY
3. the mental health clinic at the actual hospital only have docs who can prescribe medicine, not actual therapists.
So what can i do. My doctor only treats me for pain related issues anyway, not mental health stuff.
So im pretty stuck. Can anyone offer some advice. Thanks
