I have social anxiety, can I get SSI?!


Question:

I have social anxiety, can I get SSI?

I graduated from high school in 05 and got accepted to go to Temple University the following fall, but I backed out because I felt I wasn't ready.

I had a job during school that lasted only 2 weeks and I had to quit because I just couldn't get used to it. I had a job in summer 06 for about 3 months but quit because I couldn't handle working and going to school (I had applied for a community college).

A week later I dropped out of community college because I just couldn't take the pressure. I had a job for a month last March at a post office until I couldn't stand being there anymore.

I have been seeing multiple counselors and psychiatrists and have been diagnosed at having social phobia and am currently taking a single course at the same community college, but feel like quitting that now as well. I am unemployed but have filled out some applications.

I've been trying so hard to overcome this but it always ends up feeling hopeless. Thanks for any advice.


Answers:

To answer your question, NO, you can't draw social security for having social anxiety. However, you can go on welfare, I suppose. Same difference, it all comes out of the taxpayer's pocket to support people who can't or won't function in society.
