I'm thinking I might do it... Working is just plain too much with my anxiety.  I'm told if you have anxiety you can get it...  My anxiety is quite severe, and I just have a hard time living life AND working, and I'm not even working all that much anymore, and its not even something I enjoy.  I want to start an at home craft business thing, since that's something I can do on MY schedule, I'm good at, and I enjoy.  But with being a mom, and a wife, with my anxiety, I never have the strength to do what needs doing around the house, I don't go to church anymore because I'm too overwhelmed, and I can't keep on top of my health...

Are you seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist?  If not ask your doctor for referral to one. There is help for severe anxiety that may enable you to live a more normal life. If you are going to apply for disability seeing a doctor and trying to get help with it is going to be your first step.

Be prepared as applying for a getting disability is not an easy process. People are often denied first and having a disability lawyer might help the process if you can't overcome the anxiety with medical help.

I did. I was turned down the first time and went through a reputable disability attorney for the appeal. It went right through & I got retroactive benefits. It was worth every penny I gave the lawyer! Good luck!

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior". Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still co...

I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.
