My addictions Dr. has been pushing me to file for disability for months now, and yesterday I raised the subject with my psychiatrist, and his enthusiasm for it, kind of took me aback. He said he would be fully supportive, and even suggested for filling for CPP (permanent) disability when I just want to file for ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Payments) because you can still work part time while on ODSP.

This feels like a huge step back for me, because it's finally admitting I'm not going to be able to go back to work full time any time soon.

But since both Dr's are onboard, I'm going to start the application process. I'll probably call the social assistance office tomorrow.
