I didn't know that's the kind of thing they ask for for SSI applications. I'm the same way. I have no friends, I only go to work, school and the grocery store. I have no social life. No regular activities besides watching tv and playing video games sometimes unless I'm manic, then I try to do everything. But even now I'm manic and I have no social contact with anyone other than my therapist and psychiatrist. Maybe that bodes well for me getting SSI, which is good. There's also a team at my clinic that helps people get through the SSI application process and has a very high success rate. I just have to start the process.

Try not to feel ashamed that you are in the situation you are in. The SSI could really help, so follow through. Don't put blame on yourself, but do know that it is your responsibility to work toward "getting your life back" but you can have help with that too.
