    As someone who broke in half a year ago and can barely function, it’s an uphill battle at best. Here’s a sample from my first denial:

    You have difficulty performing certain tasks. However, you should be able to take care of your personal need, understand and follow simple instructions, and perform simple jobs.

    I have a 128 IQ. But to the US system, I’m just a simpleton that’s fit to follow simple instructions and perform simple jobs. That’s it. That’s the benchmark. And it’s not going to get better any time soon.

    I wish you the best.

      The problem is exactly doing the simple jobs. Give me the complicated any day and I’ll keep busy, but doing mindless work is precisely why I can’t fit in.
