The "usa ssdi" thread that's active in this forum...I just described what led up to my disability and why I still can't work. Sorry, I don't know how to link but I described it there. I have anxiety disorders, too.

I'm also under review. I got a letter stating so over a year ago. I got kind of worried, but decided worrying wouldn't help a thing. I thought it just went away because the SSA never contacted me again until a few days ago. They want me to provide information about any hospitalizations. I wrote those down (actually, my partner had to fill it out for me, as I just got out of IP, unfortunately).

I think that my anxiety is a huge toll on me. I think my bipolar disorder is like an awful giant, an evil beast, that rears its ugly head when I'm overcome with stress.

If stress did not exist, I think I could work. But no stress, none. A pipe dream. Take care.
