I went to my first disability hearing on Thursday and it was awful. Lawyer barely spoke. I have severe agoraphobia with severe panic attacks dysthymia depression and ptsd. The judge was in Virginia and I had to take my agoraphobic butt all the way to downtown Indianapolis to meet by monitor with a clerk in person. I stuttered, my anxiety was giving me tiks my hands and constant head shaking in an unnatural ways. The vocational expert said I could be a janitor or work in a warehouse but agreed my contact with supervisors and coworkers should be little to non. *Just wondering if I had a good case or not, prepare for appeal. I'll listen to all opinions. This sucks.

I hope that someone can give you a good idea, but it seems like these things are never certain. I just want to say good luck and I hope that you will be able to get what you need from there with little to no worry and anxiety over it

I talked to you yesterday on chat. I too was very nervous during the whole SSDI thing. I also was applying for private disability and they were SUPER nasty. It sucks that we have to deal with all this when we feel so bad already.
