I have a question to send out. I am asking as an informational point and not
a point of giving up. Have any of you under 55 found that you are not able
to hold down a full time job any longer due to exhaustion, physical demands
and the like? If so, have any of those who have found it too difficult been
able to apply and then receive SSDI? If so, was a very difficult to be
accepted and how does one start? My family is after me all the time any more
about the amount of energy I am using to try to keep going as much as I do.
They say that if I lesson the work load I would have the energy to function
day to day with a 1/2 normal life... longer rather then less time. They are
not suggesting that I give up and sit looking out the window. They are
simply concerned at the level of exhaustion at the end of a work day. I care
for seven children in the home (infants to pre-school age). It is all I have
ever done. I am scared of falling, or dropping a child etc. I just don't
know if it is worth the fight to apply for SSDI. Thanks...Kathie
