yes, give it a shot. i was just approved (got my letter just friday in fact).
i haven't worked in a year because no one will hire me. i can only attribute this to the current climate of the job market & the fact that i have flaked on nearly every job i've had in the last couple of years by just not showing up, which were all due to problems with depression & anxiety. i lost my last job after being hospitalized for being suicidal, & the people who told me they would call in for me did not. by the time i found out i had been fired & when i got out i didn't care to go explain the situation to them.
that was last november & since then i have also been in residential treatment twice because i would not go back to the hospital. the pdoc suggested applying to me the 2nd time in the RT so they could work on getting me stabalized without me having the extra stress of worrying about a job (not only finding one, but also being able to keep it once i did).
work & related issues is one of the most stressful areas of our lives. i hope you get something good very soon! you deserve it.
