Take a closer look at mental health social security benefits due to the inability to go back into the work force.

Created by C.F. on April 21, 2012

Due my illness and my son's illness it has forced me into poverty. I do have an AA degree and was working as a Realtor and had hopes of becoming an investor to manage my income. I have hopes of getting back into the work force even going back to school, but going in and out of the hospitals makes it difficult. I pray for a recovery or a drug to keep me stable. My diagnosis is schitzo-affect disorder bipolar and my son is autism/pdd non-verbal. We need some serious help or services in place for someone who don't have a spouse anymore to support us. I am stuck in between a rock and hard place. The future concerns me and everyone wants to go against the holy bible and do evil and this how I feel someone has done evil to me and my son. I want to work and have the American Dream.
