Stress Center Peer Support

Out of curiosity, is anyone on disability or know anyone that is on disability for anxiety, depression, or OCD?

Thanks,

I had honestly thought about it for quite some time but I wanted more than anything to work through my issues so I just never bothered with disability. I looked into it but thought against it.
I think it is available though.

I Am on SSDI For Major Depression ongoing and recurring. I also have GAD with Panic, I had major break down in 2005 havent fully recovered as of this day.

It is an anxiety disorder when the anxiety interferes with your life so much that you have difficulty handling day to day tasks. Working is a day to day task. There are many degrees of anxiety. From mild to severe. There are many people that truly cannot work. We should never say that a person should be able to work with anxiety. We don't know because the severity varies from person to person. There's a lot of people on here on disability. It's not a bad thing. I think it's a good thing. It helps people pay their bills while they work on getting better. There was an old thread like this one and there were a lot of people on disability and I think anxiety is a good reason to be on it. I would never say that those people shouldn't be on disability because it's not my say and I don't know their struggles.

I was responding to some negative postings and I see that they deleted their posts.
