I did the community therapy thing through my local college. They offer sliding scale and I ended up only having to pay like $10 per session. Really great experience and ended up with a new diagnosis that I think does fit me better; at least med wise

I didn't miss the liberal sticker! Lol. What if he person who sticker slapped it thinks that Lenin is too much of a lib
I think this is probably right. Idk if wolves display similar tells to dogs but the one on the right looks like it was maybe lip licking which is appeasement in dog language. I'm gonna guess the one in the middle was trying to play around with the white one who was not interested so told em to fuck off, then the one in the right is doing just as you said while the middle one is clueless as to why the white one would be annoyed lol
Aw hey I went to see him last year!
Haircut truther tho 
Holy fuck they really were on a sick one towards the end there. Wild that all the red pilled vernacular.comes spewing out all at once; they just can't help to show who they really are when you have em cornered.
Ah yeah I feel you on the self affirmation; I too am autistic and help people apply for benefits as my job so I automatically jump into helper/problem solver mode which can be...maybe not the most helpful lol. Anyway I hope you're gentle with yourself and you'll get it sorted!
Oof I'm sorry if that wasn't helpful :( there are other things they look at though! You'd likely report to them your daily functioning, such as not being able to lift much, difficulty walking, taking leave from work due to your disability, taking extra breaks and it still etc. Sometimes they do in person examinations as well, at least here, which can make a difference if they can't quote determine just by your records alone. Also this is all based off of US criteria again and I'll bet that it would be more lax where you are.
Also, while you've only had the one job, you managed to stay there for SIX YEARS! That's amazing to me, and I think would look good to prospective employers too, you stick around for the long haul. Besides my current job (almost 4 years), I've usually only stuck around for 2 years MAX, and I'm in my 30s. Also, it sounds like maybe you just need time right now to rest after doing what I assume was a really physically taxing job for so long, and you aren't lazy for that. Fuck western hustle culture for real
My limp noodle arms are so SORE from getting friggin JACKED at the gym 
I just wanna be able to shred up giant hills on my bike and crush watermelons with my thighs BUT will my brain let me be that disciplined?
Not necessarily, but it helps. I think the biggest thing is the amount of medical evidence that you have. For claims here, the biggest deciding factor in your claim are whats in your medical records; they have a book of criteria for many different disabilities and they scan your medical records to see if there is evidence in there that matches the criteria. If you've:
- gone to doctors/specialists regularly
- you've agreed to treatments that they've suggested
- your doctors agree that your disability is severe enough that you are not able to work
- and it's been recorded in your medical records that treatment has not remedied your ailment, then that is going to help your claim a lot.
They also take into consideration your age, education, and work experience to see if you have transferable skills. You can also list all limitations that affect your ability to work. For example someone with fibromyalgia may also have ADHD, an auditory processing disorder, depression, and memory issues that are not diagnosed. If they feel that all of those things compound to make work difficult, they should be listed.
They also are looking at if you can work any job in the national economy, regardless if the jobs are actually available or not. If you're relatively young, it is very difficult to get benefits but it can be done. I would think that the criteria in Canada may be less strict than the US; the social security program feels like it's basically being dismantled and so it's been even more difficult than it was already for people to get approvals
It may also be worth trying a variety of jobs too; like trying for remote work possibly. if you can't keep them due to your disability, that's more evidence for your claim, or best scenario you find something that's sustainable.
More than anything I hope you can get to the bottom of your issue though :/
