There are a lot of us on disability and a lot who aren't. I've been on it for almost 5 years now and it made a huge difference as I was just not able to work anymore and not working cuts my stress so much.

It can be a long process. I was very fortunate and got benefits in 11 weeks but on average it takes a lot longer and involves several appeals. Someone else can tell you more about that if you want to know.

My best advice is get them every bit of paperwork from every therapist and dr you've seen in the allotted time who possibly has anything to do with why you need disability. The more background they have the better.
