Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice.

I’m currently working and want to keep working, but I’m struggling with anxiety and panic attacks during my shifts. It’s becoming overwhelming.

I’ve been on antidepressants and sleep medication and in therapy for about 4 months, and I’m worried that’s not enough history to qualify for ODSP.

I’m also scared of applying and getting rejected because the appeal process would make my anxiety much worse.

I’ve heard it’s easier to go from OW to ODSP, but I can’t afford to be on OW.

Has anyone applied in a similar situation while still working with a short treatment history? Is it worth trying or better to wait?

Thank you.
