I’ve now been on SSI and SSDI for 2+ years. I take seroquel 600mg and Lithobid 1500mg every day. I was diagnozed as schizoaffective disorder bipolar type I by my last 2 psychiatrists. I read online that people who are schizoaffective are at a great risk of developing schizophrenia. I wanted to know if I already developed schizophrenia because one day at around 3-4am i woke up and saw in my room a spirit and i thought i was going to die if I didn’t turn the light on. As soon as I turned the light on the spirit vanished slowly. The whole thing lasted only about 4-5 seconds. I wanted to know why I saw that for the first time ever. After the incident I told my psychiatrist about that, and he didn’t say much. I would like to know if I would requalify for SSI and SSDI cuz I’ve been discharged medically from the military for having my illness and I can’t even work 2-3 hours a day cuz stress makes my illness much worse. The medications are very strong cuz it knocks me out for 14 hours straight

Afraid to lose benefits but I wanna try.
