No, I would *like* to work, but there are problems with working and my benefits, and it'd just be too hard right now. I plan to get a job when we're more stabilized that can possibly pay me with me still recieveing my benefits.
And another problem, if I make too much money my Medicaid goes out the window too. There is no way I can pay for all my medications a month, over ~$2000.
Thanks though..
Edit: I know you said I wouldn't lose my benefits, but I have spoken to SSI people that say otherwise, especially about Medicaid.. 
Edit2: I think I figured out why. I'm married and my wife's income counts too..

Wow, that's a crappy situation to be in... in fact, it's very similar to the one my friend who killed himself used to be in, 9 months before his unfortunate death, except you have Shyla and he had no one (sorry to be morbid). Drugs mess people up, as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately they seem to be the only "solution" for a lot of mental diseases.
How did you manage before you met Shyla??? I guess you still lived with your parents?
Let me tell you, shying away from one's family is a bad idea. They are my support net, and I am theirs (in different ways). Is the problem you have with them really so bad you can't reconcile? You don't need to tell me about it, just consider this.
