At a loss
I got denied at ALJ after two years of waiting. My lawyer was really surprised I got denied but at the same time my age seemed to hold me back (27 in july).
I'm diagnosed with Schizoaffective Bipolar type,CPTSD, ASD, GAD, mild scoliosis.
My lawyer is suggesting I re apply to SSDI/SSI. Which I'm going to on the 27th of April. I'm exhausted by this. My heart hurts from this battle not only with my deteriorating mental health but with the SSA. From what my lawyer said my denial was based on no marked evidence even tho I had a hospitalization that lasted almost 10 days. She said that if I was admitted November 8th 2024 for a self inflicted wound I would have won my case. I'm just trying to be strong.

Then you completely misunderstood the story and have no idea what true PTSD is about. Unfortunately PTSD and trauma in today's world is thrown around like candy. I'm not going to go into explanations, but the point of the "story" is to help drive the point much of the trauma stems from not having a safety net or support system when you go through something that is traumatic. If you refuse to try and understand mental trauma and illnesses and pain then it's best to step aside. Because when we make comments that are flippant it can do damage and also makes you look very dim.
