I Have Real Panic and Real Fear


20 years ago 0 47 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I don't understand. Is it State disability that has denied your claim or your work disability ? Was this condition caused by work stress or agrivated anyway by work stress ? I ask becuase I am in the same situation except I am getting state disability. Even though I have had anxiety for years it was never this bad and this panic stress stuff was broght on by work. I filed a workmans comp claim and they are investigating that and they also interiewed a lot of people at work to find out if there was in fact undue stress that caused this on me. I will find out my final out come on December 22nd. I'm not sure what state you are in but state disability doesn't ask you if it is a pre existing condition they just need to know that your condition is now causing you not to work and they need a doctor to fill out paper work. I have been on state disability now for 4 months and without it I too would be loosing my home. I am a sole supporter so I know what you are going thru. I worried for months about it and finally had to give in to not worrying about it so I could get healthy. I just told myself that it was all material stuff and my health was worth more than that. I lost a house once before thru a bad divorce so I do know what its like to loose. Not sure if I was helpfull to you but if you would like to e-mail me directly you can. OBrendie@aol.com

Sorry to hear about your problems.....have you applied for social security disability......i dont think there is any pre existing conditions ......not sure but worth a try.....i realize that we pay so much money into all these **** insurance policies and then there is always a technicality for the few people that need to collect....keep fighting.....also in terms of health insurance besides cobra i think there are some plans that offer lower rates if you make less than x dollars per year....normally they offer only catastrophic insurance....its worth searching on the net. good luck

I took Medical leave Sept 4, 2004. My Disabilty claim through work was denied because they said it fell under the category of Pre-existing. I have been disputing it for 3 months. Each time I comply with their requests, they add something new to deny me. I should be receiving $1,000/mo and haven't seen a dime. I went on medical leave to seek treatment and Physical Therapy for Fibromyalgia. Stress aggravates Fibro even more. I have not had a restful day since Sept. The whole situation has me frustrated. I am not able to return to work @ this time. We are about to lose our home. I can't pay for my prescriptions. My insurance ran out and now have to go on Cobra. I can't afford it and cannot afford to be without it. I feel as though I'm at the end of my rope. My husband does not make enough $$$ to support a 2 income family. Recently, I bought a new 2004 Grand Am to get to work and Dr's. appts safely. I'll probably lose that, too. I have Hospital Tests coming up and have an appt on the 8th of Dec to be fitted with a Holter Monitor. My heart feels as if it wiil beat out of me chest. I can't breathe well and feel like I'm suffocating. I feel caged and cornered. I'm in a situation that I can't find my way out of. I'm exhausted from trying, no matter what I do it's never enough to create a solution. I think I am going slowly crazy. I can't think anymore. My husband says I retreat into myself and act as if though I'm invisible. I can't sleep. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks, Della
