answer:I am not the Social Security worker who will review your application, nor am I the one who will make the determination. For what it’s worth, neither is your psychiatrist. I don’t know what criteria they are going by. When I had to fill out all those myriad forms, I remembered to breathe, and I just kept writing. I wrote, until I thought every tiny detail of my rotten life both internal and external was on paper. I wanted them to understand how the disease robbed me of my ability to live fully and independently. It was important to me to write about why I quit 2 highly lucrative jobs and a series of smaller ones that left me more and more isolated. It was my mission to demonstrate to them that bipolar disorder had wrecked me. I wish you the absolute best luck in this difficult task.
