Is it possible to get SSI from having AvPD? I can't imagine myself working any job, other than maybe drawing when my skill improves by a lot, but that will be some time from now.

SSI is my only hope for living independently and getting away from triggering people

I think it would be a good idea to apply for SSI. From what I have read, AvPD is classified as a ''severe'' form of ''social anxiety disorder'' and as such it should (imo) qualify for SSI. I suggest talking to a good psychiatrist as a starting point, if you haven't already done so. They could better advise you than I can. Thanks for posting! Maybe some other members will chime in with some thoughts.

You definitely deserve to get away from those toxic people and have a better life. Keep on with the drawing, I think it's great that you enjoy drawing

Yes, it is possible. I was diagnosed with AVPD 3 years ago. I was unable to hold a job for my entire working life. I was 50 when I was diagnosed. It took a year but I was approved for SSI after a hearing on the first try.
