I would like to reiterate that doctors and therapists really don't know what disability entails. You are right that what you get from disability is based on you earnings, so if you've only been working part-time, you will get less than that from disability. But the good news is that you can work part-time on disability. There is a certain amount that you are allowed to make up to monthly before they cut you off.

Also, lots of people recommend going through a lawyer to get disability, but I got disability on my first try without needing a lawyer, so it is possible, if you have all the documentation to get disability without the aid of a lawyer and on the first try. I would recommend trying to fill the paperwork out on your own first without the aid of a lawyer, and if it gets too confusing or if you get rejected and need to appeal, then get a lawyer.

I do know that it helped me that I had been hospitalized 5 times for severe depression and SH when i applied and I had not only submitted my records from those hospitalizations but pictures of what I had done to myself...I think that helped a lot. lol.

Good luck and I hope your situation turns out the best for you..
