This might be long so be patient. This is my situation. I was diagnosed with Chronic Epstein Barr Virus in 1991. I have not worked full time since, I was working three days a week. In 1994 I was diagnosed with IC- I dont have to tell you how much of a struggle it is to work with IC but I continued to work three days a week. I was to the point of leaving early, coming in late because of lack of sleep, having to go back and lay down at times due to pain, taking narcotic pain meds at work. I contacted SS last fall about applying but didnt at the time, fearing that I would quit my job and not get disability. In February of this year I was told at work that I would have to change job positions and work the front desk by myself (a position that I hate) and the position has never been done by one but two people and it was very stressful and you were ready to pull your hair out at the end of the day with two so I quit, which I have no regrets. I applied for disability immediately. I did not mention quitting on my application for disability but of course it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that I quit and signed up for disability. Also I was sent for a psych exam and it came out in that interview. Do I just ignore bringing this up and leave it at that or should I explain like I did above what had happened and why I felt like I had to quit? I have gotten the disability book off of this site and am in the process of reading it and it has been sooooooo helpful. Alot of things that I didnt think of or know. It is wonderful. Anyway, if anybody can give me some guidance on this I would appreciate it. Thank you. Susan
