Thank you for this post. So many people don't understand how humiliating it is just to apply for disability. I'm one of those people going through the long appeals process. I have been fired from jobs while I was in the hospital and have both physical and mental health problems. I've also been told by several doctors that I needed to get disability because I wouldn't be able to keep a job long term. Yet our wonderful government keeps turning me down even with having doctors say I can't work.
