As someone who broke in half a year ago and can barely function, it’s an uphill battle at best. Here’s a sample from my first denial:
You have difficulty performing certain tasks. However, you should be able to take care of your personal need, understand and follow simple instructions, and perform simple jobs.
I have a 128 IQ. But to the US system, I’m just a simpleton that’s fit to follow simple instructions and perform simple jobs. That’s it. That’s the benchmark. And it’s not going to get better any time soon.
The problem is exactly doing the simple jobs. Give me the complicated any day and I’ll keep busy, but doing mindless work is precisely why I can’t fit in.
Sometimes I consider if I can get on disability
