Wonder if I should be on disability?

Social Security Disability is there for individuals who cannot work or have reduced working hours due to some disability. Does your disability cause you to lose employment opportunities or miss work? If so, then I think that you would qualify for SSI? If you're over 18, you can apply or have someone apply for you and it will be solely based on your income. If you're under 18, SSI will look at your parents income as well.
I have a son who has physical and memory problems and will be applying for him to receive SSI. I think it's a security that will be important. If you go to: http://www.socialsecurity.gov and click on the link "Do I Qualify?" it will answer a lot for you and get you started in the right direction.
Good Luck!

It sounds like you just might be if you can't work.
I have the same thing but no obvious complications from it that I know of.
Check with Social Security about being disabled.

I'm not a medical professional but I might suggest looking into disability.

disability didn't mean that you are weak or you burden other people time. if you need a hand to help you then you will get it. there's no people that never need others help. maybe you need to adapt in your situation. However, friends still friends, right?
