If you are capable of working try to find something you like to do.There are all sorts of things that could help you contribute to the world and not just stay at home waiting for your check.
People who work even for a small wage have more friends, more confidence, more money and live longer.
Please don't try to be yet another leach on society. There are people out there with artificial legs running marathons, people with Down's Syndrome bagging groceries, and blind people teaching college. If you want a better life set your mind to it and you can find a way.
Rise above it friend!

Diabetes is not a disability unless you have lost sight kidney function have heart damage or a limb as per the social security office. Bipolar is also in the same place if it can be controlled by medication and treatment. Heart disease depends on the extent, if you have a heart functioning at 50% you may be disabled. Your doctor is who you need to ask because they have to testify in paperwork you are disabled and they determine it. You can have all three problems and live a normal productive life. You may suffer from manic or depressive episodes but usually you can hold a job and function normally. Did you take Zyprexa? It is a known link to triggering diabetes. Big law suit going on.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Normally, that would not qualify, unless you had severe heart disease or crippling bipolar illness. You may qualify for disability based solely on mental illness but that will take lots of paperwork, interviews and testing (expensive tests). Same with heart disease and the paperwork, etc. Just because you have diabetes does not add much to the equation. Have you attempted suicide more than once? Does you meds cause you to loose focus on what you are doing for extended periods of time? Have you been tested and diagnosed for mental illnesses that would impact on your quality of life? It happened to my daughter so I speak from experience.

I have been a type 1, blind diabetic with heart failure. on oxygen and a ton of medications, for over 7 years. I never went on SSDI until I had to go on dialysis back in March, now that I'm more stable more or less I want to return to work.
Granted I can't work as an RN, and can't sit at a desk for 8 hours or be the Director anymore but I can make phone calls, use my computer at home, make boxes for the local pizza hut what ever but mostly use my mine to stay off welfare! You don't have to return to the same type of work and really most of us can't but we can make a dent in this world with our other talents.
Are you asking what talents? you just have to find yours every one has them.
Just because we are sick and or diseased we can still work for a paycheck and feel soooooo good about it too.
BTW did you know if you are on SSDI they will pay you to go back to work? And will not stop your benefits until after 5 years of continued work? Wow what a wonderful country to do this for me!

Sounds like your talking about me. I have a job as a courier. It allows me to take care of myself and take time off for medical needs as i am an independant contractor. Being on disability would only make your depression worse.

To the point where they shouldn't breed, yes. They have a bunch of crappy genes which they should not pass on.
