I have B!.P!. and am on disability myself!.
They (Social Security) won't even rely on your Doctors opinion about your state of mental health!.
It comes down to this!.
Say you were in a skilled and lucrative career in the past!. (as I was)
They (S!.S!.) will try to determine if you can be gainfully employed in ANY occupation!.
Even working at McDonald's!. (No offense to Mickey D's employees)
I do part time work as a bookkeeper and a process server!.
But it is not "gainful employment"!. A few hundred dollars a month!.
Some people think, oh lucky you!. Now you don't have to work!.
I loved my former career and would take it back in a second!.
But unfortunately, I cannot handle it on a full time basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You already have started the process to apply for disability!. When you go to you doctors apts!. today I would make sure that before the end of your apt!. bring this up with all of those involved and let them know and ask if there is anything which they can do to help you!.
Why should they have any reaction , they see people all the time in the same position you are in!.
Your doctor will be able to help, the social worker will be able also, just make sure that they are aware of the fact that you have started the SSI for disability process, the social worker might be able to help you more then the doctors!.
Good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you're doing the right thing!. If you start to get nervous, do a mental review of the reasons why you need to go on disability!. I'm sure your doctors will be very supportive!. But if any of your doctors are not supportive of your decision, just find new ones that are!. I've replaced doctors that aren't sympathetic!. I'm sure all this must be especially hard for you, being depressed and having the problems you have!. Just hang in there and don't let anyone get you discouraged!.
Maybe you should post this same question in the following section:
Home > Society & Culture > Cultures & Groups > People with Disabilities
I bet you'll find many more supportive and understanding people there!.
Good luck to you! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
