Don't think lawyer has faith in my SSI case w/my MH diagnoses

I don't think my therapist is Allowed to write a letter. I don't think my PCP is either. How am I supposed to build evidence without locking myself in the psych ward and retraumatizing myself at this point? I even told my lawyer I've had to talk my way out of being locked up again because the first time was so traumatic

You should still ask. Even if they can’t do a formal letter, they can often provide visit summaries, treatment notes, or reports on daily functioning, and those still count.

Use what you already have.

You could also ask your providers for simple statements like:
Patient has ongoing symptoms affecting daily functioning.

And make sure you stay consistent with your outpatient care.

I’ve been following your posts for a while, and I honestly think you’ve got a good chance. Keep going, you’ll get it.
