So basically I recently applied for SSI for Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Depression… It’s a toxic combo and together I just can’t work (let alone take care of myself tbh). However my dad really wants me to go to college, or rather community college. He’s very disappointed I am not going to school rn. Actually, he’s not disappointed. He’s pissed. And basically demands that I go back to school. He’s fine with me applying for SSI, because he understands my mental illnesses disable me but just can’t understand I cant go to school. Whatever. I am willing to try.

So I was wondering if it was possible to take a class or two and apply for SSI? If I could I would only take an art class or two. I would get accommodation recommendation and such from my psychiatrist. I mean… taking an art class is nothing like working full or even part time right? But who knows how SSA thinks! (But honestly like I said I can barely take care of myself so I don’t even know if I’d be able to go to school I just want to make my dad happy)

Anyways, has anyone tried it? Or know of anyone who’s tried it? I did google it and google had pretty mixed answers and it just made me more confused tbh!
