Tim -
I don't know your situation, or your health status so I don't really have feedback. But going on SSDI happens because you can't work due to poor health. If I could work, I would be. I earned a lot more money when I had a career, and of course I had my health, independence, and all that comes with being in the working world.
My personal situation is that I have been too ill to work, on a daily basis. I have had other illnesses on top of EPI for most of my life, and they have become more challenging with time. I've been at the stage of needing hospice care twice, once as recent as nine months ago. I am light years away from holding down any type of job, even for a couple hours a day. But I have had the blessing of two miraculous remissions and recoveries, and just happy to be alive and as well as I am.
I did enjoy many years of working, up until my mid thirties, and had a great career. When I couldn't work, I did a lot of volunteer work - but I am unable to do that now - but I am working hard to regain as much health as possible.
Good luck with your decision and future in all of this.
Love,
jnanda
