>too mentally unstable to get a job
>too well spoken and calm to get disability
What do I do robots? None of the social workers believe I have crippling anxiety because I don't have trouble talking to them.
Mention you get thoughts of killing yourself.

I have an anxiety disorder, and taking an SSRI drug helped immensely.

Honestly it's a lot more than anxiety, I have panic attacks, I have break downs, depression, thoughts of killing myself, sometimes thoughts of hurting others, paranoia, thinking people are stalking me, etc. I've been looking for work for a total of almost 2 years now and anytime I get close my mental problems fuck it up.
None of the therapists take me seriously because when I talk to them, I tell them my issues but they don't take it seriously, it's in one ear and out the other because when I'm talking to therapists I am always calm and collected for some reason.
>what country are you in OP? I never new any welfare state would give disability for anxiety
USA, California, and like I described above it's far more than anxiety. I am not a functional member of society at this point and I think I might become homeless soon.

I know this sounds far out in left field, but if you have thoughts of hurting others or killing yourself, and you know those are things you don't want to do, that is actually a big indicator of a certain type of obsessive compulsive disorder called Pure-O. A lot of people think that OCD is all about checking locks on doors and counting steps and things of that nature, but it actually goes quite a bit further. I'm not saying you absolutely 100% have it, but I think it'd definitely be something to look into.

Okay, I'll see about it.
When I was diagnosed with ADHD at 21 my doctor told me certain types of OCD might be comorbid so I suppose it could make sense.
I wish my brain was normal.
being alive hurts.

I know the feel. I've OCD my whole life, but it only really started to heighten around age 15.
