Former former physical education teacher here I was suffering from CDIP and it was having a real big affect on my ability to teach I went and applied for disability and was able to receive disability benefits from both my state retirement and Social Security. I don't know about you, but I found it very difficult to keep up with the demands of teaching and deal with my condition. Eventually It led to a major battle of depression that could no longer be ignored. Check with your human resource department to see what your options are. I understand what you are going through

I am worried that I will have to try to get disability. How did you get that? My Neurologist basically told me I probably won't qualify. It doesn't sound promising reading SSA.gov I am worried that I will be denied and I don't think there is any way I will be able to actually get another job. Working from home due to the Pandemic actually had saved me and my job for the last few years, but I am getting worse fairly quickly. At this rate, by Sept. when I get laid off, I will be in pretty bad shape. All I want to do is walk and get into shape. Last year when I started trying to walk, my feet popped a couple of times and now they are painful in two ways. I feel like my feet are failing physically and top it with extreme nerve pain.
