yeah, that's a struggle for me, too, even with the depression vastly reduced.
i really wish they'd told me why i was approved so quickly, so that i could then pass that information along to other people. it might be that i am dealing with multiple issues (in terms of having DID, depression, and anxiety *and* having a physical disability). if that wasn't the reason, it might be that i was able to explain pretty clearly how the disabilities had made it impossible for me to cope at even a minimal level, and how that was different from before i had them.
one thing that helped me with sorting through my thoughts (although it was MEGA depressing!) was to make a list of all of the things i could do before i was disabled that i can't do any more.
