I’ve been considering applying for disability at this point. Working has always been a challenge for me but after my last bout of employment with a bunch of fucked yo managers that don’t know how to do their jobs, it’s left me pretty scarred. For one, don’t ever tell someone they are “not self aware and you don’t think they can ever change”- my old boss. Stupid cunt bitch. 

I just know I always have issues in the workplace. I’m extremely professional, work extremely well but none of that matters when other people are doing their job, and managing accordingly. I’ve always been in management but don’t think I can do it anymore. 

I figured I’d just apply and see what happens. I’ve been in counseling for at least 1 year straight, 2.5 years total I just missed a couple of months. 

Does anyone know what paperwork they would need from my therapist? I don’t take meds as I can’t stand them, and to my knowledge (and disability info) BPD cannot be treated with meds so I wouldn’t have to show that... just that I’ve been in treatment (ongoing). 

Also, can I apply while on unemployment? I know you’re suppose to be “able” to work while on unemployment, so it would seem contradictory... to apply for disability saying I can’t work...

I mean how am I suppose to go to work, when I have days it takes everything in me just to LIVE the day itself...? 

Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
