[ I mean there were some really specific questions that where difficult because I didn't become 'disabled' on a certain date. I've had difficulties since childhood so I can't give specific dates about that...]
you can either put 'since childhood', pick a date in your childhood when you think you realised you had difficulties , or put the datewhen your difficulties first prevented you from holding down a job. not knowing your age i would say put down whichever you wish but make sure it is over 5 years ago!
Then I don't know what to do about the job history section, I don't really have one I had two short term jobs that I don't have the information for just that i was fired after a short time and work study in college but that's supposed to be counted as financial aid I'm pretty sure. I don't know so I guess I am worried about if I will qualify or not......or if I get denied if I could even appeal it successfully.
put down everything you have done, if you can't give exact dates put year started and year ended or season+year started and season+year ended e.g. spring 04- summer 04, the more you put down the more they can pull out as relevant info.
you can always put a note in the additional information box that most forms have stating that due to your mental illness you are unable to remember all the details, so have filled it in to the best of your ability.
it is always worth appealing even if you fail, because there is always a chance you will succeed.
