Supplemental Security Income is not just about being disabled, as per your state's/the Government's idea of disability (just being ill is not the same as being disabled; I was diagnosed with GAD too, had over 30 years therapy but always worked), it is also about how you live. If you live with someone, have a roof over your head, food, clothes, etc. wanting "your own" money will not necessarily be enough to get SSI. If someone else is willing to help you out, the Government is glad of that, you probably would not qualify for needing "supplemental" help. So it is disability, diagnosed for which you are in current treatment, have been in past treatment all this time, have psychiatrists and doctors and the Government's people who prod and poke you all saying you cannot work AND you have to not have "enough" support from others in your life. General anxiety is probably not going to do it for you. Rather than worrying about medication and who does not take medication, I'd wonder, who isn't anxious these days?
