| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Should I send the old job a statement that they can give out information on my work history with them now?
Yes, because the hospitalization will show that you were not able to hold the job successfully, and that will bolster your case for disability.
I have a file at mental health so big that it weighs 5 lbs.
Great! That's what I want to hear! The heavier the better because it shows that you have more evidence than any reviewer would want to ever spend time going through, so they will approve you! That's how I got my award!
until I had a nervous breakdown. If they hadn't made me get a job back then I wouldn't have had this nervous breakdown.
Find those medical records-those are valuable to your case! |

| | My MRI was negative, so now I am waiting for the blood labs to come back. The pancreas ducts are not blocked, but i still dont' know what is causing all the terrible pain. I am still on clear fluids. I have lost 14 pounds in 14 days.
At least I am not going into the hospital this weekend, like the doctor had wanted me to do, as long as I stay on clear fluids, I can stay out of the hospital for another 7 days. |
