Social Security said they set up two back to back Dr. appts for me. Why two? How will a doctor that never met me be able to see the extent of my disability in 30-60 minutes?! If I am friendly does that mean I'm not depressed? I'm freaking about all this because this is my only hope. I can't get it together to work. My psychologist has had me out since January and I have NO income. He thinks I have a long way to go to be "stable enough" for work. This is just adding on top of everything else. I'm obsessively thinking about this and am so nervous I could scream

Any advice, calming words, "get yourself together" talks, or tips would be appreciated. Sorry for the mental breakdown

I hope you app. went well. let me know what went on I have one in a couple weeks.
