just take it one page at a time on the paperwork. try not to get overwhelmed (just try because i know it is going to happen)

my father-in-law was physically disabled and it took him many years to get disability. i would suspect that it would be even harder for someone like you and me.

don't be afraid to ask for help in filling out the paperwork either. your therapist or family/friends may be a big help in spotting those areas that are more debilitating than you think.

i don't know about you, but when i look at how this depression affects my life it is difficult to see every area that is affected. i recently had a talk with my husband and he pointed out some things that i didn't even realize were going on. i guess i just got used to it and began to ignore it.

good luck, and remember these things take a lot of time and patience.

don't forget, you can ask for help with the process and you deserve the help.
