I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. I've had the quite the struggle myself, first leaving my job due to mental illness (almost two years ago), then having to apply and prove my illness to employment insurance, then apply and prove my illness to social assistance, then apply and prove my illness to disability (at the federal and provincial levels). And they're not exactly kind and supportive. There's a lot of judgment and stigma, even by those who work in those fields. And everything takes awhile to go through. So I applaud your perseverance. Just keep hangin' in there.
