Struggling to Get a Job After Trauma: Should I Apply for Disability?

Hey, so due to a traumatic event happening at my last job, almost 3 years ago, I feel like it's impossible for me to get a job and feel safe, sometimes I have panic attacks when I fill out job applications. I'm not sure though if that's 'bad enough' to be considered disabled..or if I should just suck it up. so has anyone been put on disability due to mental health issues? And if yes how bad do they have to be?

I would say yes, BPD can sometimes be considered a disability in working conditions, especially if you have depression and anxiety along with it. I would ask your doctor about that, and if it does qualify I would get a note or something along those lines from the doctor stating some accomodations your job can help you with.
