i dont know about disability from work but i understand what you are talking about being high functioning. i have four or five diagnoses...too many to keep track of...lol......not funny i know.......but life is truly awful on one side, so bad that i dont even feel secure enough to take out my own trash.....i just did my laundry for the first time in two months....it is just too scary.....i go to therapy two times a week and i have been a wreck this week because the dr wants me to go for routine medical tests..i wrecked my car last week due to my anxiety going out to dinner cause i am trying to get out in the world...i have years of therapy ahead of me to get ok. i am very intelligent and high functioning though and have dissociative disorder so i can separate from all this crap in order to preform on the job. my therapy records would certainly qualify me for disability, but i found out you have to be unemployed for a year as well and just how am i supposed to survive? i can hold up on the job but then i am a mess for the other 16 hours of the day and all weekend. i just cried through a manicure and never made it to the pedicure. it would be nice to take a few months off for intensive treatment to get it together, but my insurance only cover three days in treatment. so you are not the only one stuck........hang in there..........
