Apparently trying to claim disability benefits in my country is absolutely traumatising. I read that so many times in Facebook comments. But now I'm wondering if those comments were from bots trying to put people off of claiming disability.... if so, I'll hand it to them, it worked for a long time. I was imagining the assessent being an interrogation where they yell at you and insult you and do all they can to break every little grain of self-esteem that you have left. I was expecting roasting, public humiliation rituals, even waterboarding... no apparently the most traumatic parts are filling out paperwork and having to open up about things that I can't seem to shut up about anyway. I hope that's the truth because I'm working so hard to build self-esteem that I never had in the first place
