I am sad, depressed, and confused after i went on disability?

Yes, this deep sadness has plagued me for many years.. I went on disability 40 years ago, and for 40 years I've been lost and confused not knowing how the real world lives. so I've turned into a bi-polar loner.

    Sorry you have to go through that. I’d probably lose my mind if I couldn’t work, I came close after an workplace accident from a stupid coworker.

    Are you able to socialize or maybe find some work virtually that would make you feel more connected?

    This is so sad, what weirdguy said is right. Working is good for you. Christian or not, idle hands are the devil's playthings

    Have you tried a 12 step program?

        Id suggest to look it up. It's an anonymous kind of recovery. Lots of different help for different problems.

    It sounds like you may be lacking something emotionally. Have you ever sought counselling? Granted not all psychologists are the best but there are ones that're quite good at helping to determine what we so often miss on our own.

    Understandable. Most people on disability aren't thrilled about it. As boring as work can be it's something to do, you get to socialize and you earn a proper salary... I recently decided to start volunteering as i'm currently inbetween jobs. You get to do something good as well as meet other people. You can join some activities as well, team sports can be great for making friends if there is any team sport you could imagine giving a try.

    I've never had a job and I'm on disability and I like not having to work. I would never cope with a job.
