Well, in my case, I was the first person who considered myself unable to work. Then my doctor, then since I was on welfare they wanted me to go to Social Security. Then I had to see one of their doctors, so all in all...it was up to Social Security.

I only considered myself unable to work after I kept losing job after job after job in a fairly short period of time, not being able to get out of bed, and the development of DID. Every job I had I would get very suicidal and end up in the hospital during my period at the job...
