I have severe anxiety and I was told by psychiatrist that in his experience it would be highly unlikely that I would be approved for disability. I've had this disorder for over a decade, and as a result I'm unable to venture outside of my house without experiencing mentally debilitating panic, I have even fainted on four occasions. I have been unable to get work(obviously), neither can I participate in any kind of activities such as going to family events outside of my home, take part in any kinds of hobbies outside of the home, or form/maintain relationships outside of my home. Until I received medication for this disorder about a year ago, I would even have panic attacks in my own home nearly daily, and doing things like taking a shower felt life threatening. With my medication, I am capable of short walks or car rides outside of my house, perhaps 15 minutes or so, I also generally feel safe inside my own home almost all the time. I was shocked to hear you say that someone like me might be approved for disability.
Anxiety can be approved by Social Security, but it has to be severe. Based on what you've written, you may qualify. I suggest you watch this video by Stephen Ginzburg, a disability attorney. He has several videos on how to win a psychological disability case: ruclips.net/video/ozC4GTP7YmM/видео.html Here's a link to Social Security's Listing of Impairments for Anxiety - it describes the criteria you need to meet to be considered disabled for anxiety: www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/12.00-MentalDisorders-Adult.htm#12_06
I have a dr appointment in two weeks. I had weight loss surgery in 2012 .. was diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus a few years before. Diagnosed with degenerative disc disease before surgery. Now is is up and down my spine. The autoimmune diseases are inactive but I have osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and osteopenia, respectively- from the neck down. I cannot take the only medication that would help because of the surgery. I cannot even take ibuprofen for my joints. My right forearm is the worst - also deal with numbness in my right hand and arm. My wrist and thumb sprain easily and often. I cannot stand for more than 15-20 minutes before I have to start bending over to relieve my upper back issues .. this progresses until I have to lay down with my spine curved and my arms above my head … same with sitting. everything bothers my lower back and makes it catch and grind. My biggest issue is work. I haven’t worked since 12/18 I fell in the bathtub 10/19 and there when things really started to go town hill. I live with my sister and do work in kind. I worked my butt off in their farm every day 7 days a week along with all errands and shopping. I kept myself strong but was/am in pain every day. I tried to keep up on my typing and 10 key skills but my pinky locks up, my arm hand gets numb and after about an hour I have to start bending over to relieve my back. If I cannot lay down a burning starts in my upper back and wraps around to the front and can make me nauseous and sick if I don’t lay down. I guess my issue is, this has all gotten worse while not getting a paycheck - but I know all SS cares about is how you are at work. What employer is hogging to let me bend over and/or lay down constantly. Please help.
As you've experienced, almost all arthritis gets worse as time goes on. Arm numbness is significant because it affects your ability to lift, carry, and handle objects - all work related activities Social Security considers important. Be sure to describe the arm numbness. You're also on the right track with knowing how long you can stand. Osteoporosis/penia diagnoses are not helpful for disability because they don't directly affect the ability to work. I doubt you actually have osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, you probably have one of them. During the exam focus on how your problems limit your ability to work - the ability to see, hear, sit, stand, walk, lift, carry, handle objects, speak, travel, understand, remember, concentrate, persist, interact socially, and adapt. Best of luck.
You may wish to watch some of the videos put out by social security disability attorneys were they address the factors of reliability at work, how many frequent breaks you would need, etc to help with your situation. Best wishes to you; that situation sounds almost unbearable.
What are your thoughts on telehealth or video CE's? The SSA contacted me and left a voicemail asking if i would prefer face to face or a telehealth exam. I called back and left message that i was returning their call. You came to mind instantly! What would be some pros/cons of a telehealth?

Best wishes to you…. I hope things may change positively in terms of possible approval.
