I recently had a visit with my doctor who said that it would be unwise for me to continue in my line of work. She diagnosed me with severe depression and anxiety paired with panic attacks. Problem is, I only have experience in one field, and my mom keeps trying to push me back into working in that field (in restaurants) which is such a stressful job! Anyone who has worked in restaurants will tell you, that there is usually a lot of drama, anxiety, and stress that come with a busy restaurant...and my doctor advised me to take a break from the work for awhile so I can try to get better. Thus, I applied to SSI. My mother thinks I am just being lazy and is going out of her way to make things hard of me (she is threatening to cancel my insurance and cell phone contracts, because I told her about the stress of the restaurant and she believes that by doing this she can force me into working where she wants). Anyways, I need some opinions. Think SSI is a good route? I have personally been in a mental health slump that has been getting worse and worse, and I strongly feel I should listen to my doctor, but it is hard when your own mother is telling you to grow up...
