mess with me, like one asked why I couldn't just take my anti-anxiety meds and go to work?

I had a lawyer also and they told me to not talk to them. I think it is a good idea to hand everything over to your lawyer.

One more thing that I learned. I had a friend who went to their doctor and acted like she had her shit together and just chatted with the guy. She was turned down. When went I just acted confused and depressed which was not lying but usually I was able to hide those things from regular people. I figured that doctor should see me at my worst so I was not faking it but I certainly did not "put on a happy face" for him.

I don't know if they still make you go to one of their doctors.

I wish you the best. I know the process can be long and stressful.
