They tell me I am disabled

I have been on a leave of absence from work for two months now. I had to leave for awhile because I was going through a flareup and it was to much for me. While I was working my coworkers would tell me on a daily basis that I should just collect disability and stop working forever. First of all it not all that easy to be put on disability. You can not just tell the government that you are disabled and expect a check. Secondly I do not know if I want to be considered disabled. I am only 29. There may be a lot that I can not do but there is still some things that I can do.
