How ever difficult this is for me to share, but I feel I must. I'm only 26 years and I applied for SSDI in May 2010. I've suffer from several problems depression and weight problems. I've worked and have had the same job type since I was 16 years old.

The last two years have been my most difficult. My depression has taken over my life and I can function at all. My depression has cause a rapid weight gain of over 150lbs in the last year. Most basic tasks such as walking, bathing are very difficult. I suffer from anxiety, isolation, fear of going outside, difficulty sleeping just to name a few. While writing this thread my feet and hands are shaking.

Although, I see a PCP and psychiatrist I don't know if all my problems are being documented. I fear that I don't have the acquit evidence I need to help me win a decision. My psychiatrist notes I believed are confidential and don't know by simply signing the release forms at the SS office, they will get to the appropriate people.

I'm scared that I won't be able to articulate my problems to the examiner, so I asked for my dad to come with me, who will speak on my behalf. Is this OK? Also, how deep do these questions get? I feel like I might brake down and I don't to in front of my dad. He knows I'm suffering but not in a personal feelings kind of way.

I know this is super long and boy did it feel like a little relief to put this out there. Any advice, words are welcomed.

Thanks
