Have you been diagnosed by a psychiatrist? Sounds a little like OCD or something. Meds were a godsend to me, I hope you find better tomorrows. Will
Yes, Will, I am on SSD for panic disorder/ptsd/depression/diabetes. So the Social Security is aware that I have a disability. The "thoughts" are a symptom of ptsd. mouse

Hi, Mouse, I can relate to your post 100%. It’s not easy being in the work arena when you have all of these emotions ans feelings going on inside of you. Glad you and your daughter are in counseling and doing CBT could be of great benefit to you. Keep us posted… smiles, Elise
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’m trying to work. I go in and have symptoms. (my thought processes are off). I feel totally stupid. I don’t know how to explain this. Well, I think that people who are my "bosses" are going to hurt me in one way or another. I don’t talk much, because I know this thought pattern will show up. I understand that my symptoms are not rational, but when the thoughts happen I can’t stop them. Well, it wears me out. Luckily I have a job where I can hide in my office doing things or I can be quiet without being noticed. I’m sort of the mouse in the office. (I’m the clerk to 5 people). This is good, and lends itself to my coping while at work. I shouldn’t give too much information here. I don’t want to be recognized. But anyway this is a struggle. I only work 15 hours a week. (3 days) Then my homelife will, I have been fighting with my 16 year old daughter. Usually she is pretty easy to get along with but since I went back to work and have been stressed out she has been "threatening" me in various ways. I got us into therapy. It’s helping some. Still fighting. I have an appointment with the "family" therapist to start individual therapy using the Cognitive/Behavior method you all talk about here. I looked it up on the Internet. It says that you use this therapy without drugs. I’m already on medications. Wish I weren’t. I take so much I can’t even think. I’m a clerk and have a college degree I’m so out of it. Well, anyway life sucks right now. I’m very discouraged. The update on my stress with the agencies is that the housing authority did lower my rent based on my income, but they are still "considering" my claim for disability related expenses. SSA (Social Security) and VRD (Voc. Rehab) are dealing with the disability issues. They’ll either work out or not. I’m too tired to fight it right now. Glad that at least they lowered the rent so I can pay my bills. Well, it is good reading your posts. I don’t often know what to say, but I am encouraged by the support that people give. I’m going to sign using a pseudonym. I feel afraid that people will recognize me. Mouse — Remove spam when replying.
