> any insight....spoke with attorney ..possible would be able to get ssd benefits...am 55 years ..job losses past decade...unemployed bp2/ocd...about $1600 mo. have kept all psych appts past 12 years..many meds. BUT my question is: is this like throwing in the towel.and could it be a worse situation..any experiences/opinions
greatly appreciated.

If you have no job, no insurance, a diagnosis. As long as you've seen your doc I'd ask if he will go to bat for you. I think what your doc says carries the most weight.

Sorry for the long post but there's a lot to know.
I'm 59, attempted suicide, psych ward for four days, nervous breakdown. They like that stuff.

The thing to do is get started now! If things get better you can work. If they don't at least you have cash flow.

If you are disabled the treating your condition is no different from someone getting help for physical problems. BPII can kill you faster than some cancers. That's why bipolar is on the list.

Throwing in the towel = pride. This is no time for pride.

ok that's it for me. Good luck
