It’s super frustrating, and also, it makes it harder for people who are self-sufficient at basic daily self-care (or at least mostly self-sufficient, like I just need help making meals or otherwise acquiring food) but can’t work or keep track of long term things get recognized as disabled at all. The government won’t listen to me that I can’t work. Because I’m pleasant to talk to and show up to my appointments clean and well-dressed. (distant sounds of teeth ripping something apart)
