I was not quite sure where to put this topic. I have a friend tell me recently that I should consider on just applying for social security since I have panic disorder and anxiety and depression. I have been now trying to work with a social worker with the state for just about a year to find me a job, with my mental conditions of anxiety, panic disorder and depression, but no such luck. I am also on medication as well, I have been on it for few years now.
These days it is very hard to find a job in a tiny office setting that is low on stress with the economy and all. Trust me, I tried to work in the big corporation setting and I had bad panic attacks that caused me to walk out of my jobs and not return. I got depressed too. People tell me to change who I am and get a tougher shell, trust me I have tried.
The last steady job I had was 4 years ago and I was at the company for 5 years, it was a very small family setting type of office and the boss retired cause of slow business and he was 64. I talked to my social worker and they said that finding a job like that these days is very very very hard, they were right I am still job less. I told them that I tried to work in the bigger companies but I can't handle the catty people I have tried, trust me. Also another downer is that I don't drive (phobia) and the bus system is no where near me.
So cause of all of this my only offline friend said that maybe I should try social security but I heard it is really hard to get, like it is "luck of the draw". And it takes many years.
So I was wondering if anyone here is on social security and is it hard to get it?
Do you all have any friendly advice about this situation.
Thank you kindly in advance for your help.
Have a good day
