I have my first phone interview with SSA in a couple of weeks. The whole thing stresses me out, like I need anymore of that. I'm supposed to have an evaluation down next month at my therapist's office, but in the past therapists have told me I have major depressive, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and my current therapist said psychosis/psychotic disorder NOS. I have a feeling BPD might surface as well. It has significant impact on my daily life so we'll see how things go. Not looking forward to it but I'll keep you posted.

Try as best as you can to do it on your own at first. I did this, all over the internet on their website and a few phone interviews and some paperwork through the mail, and I got approved within 3 months of applying for the first time. Make sure to make yourself sound as pathetic as possible. But don't lie. If you have any questions let me know. It shouldn't be too stressful.
