Hello All-

I have been reading this forum for a while and decided to join.
I have been suffering from depression and anxiety for pratically all my life but have been treated for it for the last 9 years, with the most recent 5 years being treated regularly. I now have severe depression, anxiety, panick attacks, type 2 diabetes, morbid obesity, and sleep apnea. All I have documented medical records for.

I applied for SSDI/SSI on 2/28/11 after quitting my job of 6 years because I just could not function properly anymore. I have always been fatiugued, some days only having enough energy to make it to work and back. I was late constantly because I was always so tired in the mornings. I could no longer concentrate and my work day was FULL of anxiety. I became extremely anti social to even those that are close to me. Work was brutal and exhausting mentally. I tried to stay as long as I could as I have worked consistenly for the last 17 years. It because mentally challenging to even show up as i work in a building with 300 people and I NO LONGER could even stand to be around people. I am still that way. Even with family and friends. I take Paxil, Wellbuturin, Xanax and Metformin for all my conditions. Had my initial appointment on 3/14/11. I have sent in all medical records from my primary care doctor, my psychiatrist and my therapist. I went to my psych CE exam in April. 4 days before that exam I reced a call from the DDS caseworker that I needed to go to a CE medical exam (still not sure why). Received paperwork in the mail confirming my appointment FIVE WHOLE WEEKS away. So I attended the med CE appointment 10 days ago. I called today to check on my case and the DDS examiner stated "your file has already been signed off on, im just waiting for the report from the CE medical exam". What in the heck!!!! These people made me wait an additional 5 weeks to go to a doctor that you are not even using to make a decision? I dont understand that and my mind is going 100 miles a minute and I an full of anxiety after that convo. I cant concentrate at all.

I am single and been w/o income since Febuary. I have depleted my savings (what little I had) and maxed out all of my credit cards just trying to pay mortgage and utilities. I have no idea what the outcome will be and it feels liek my brain is gonna burst stressing and worrying about it!!!!!! Does anyone have a guess at what the answer she gave me could mean?
