I lied to get SSI

I told my therapist I was **, which led to her encouraging me to apply for SSI for PTSD, and I was approved.
I don't know why I lied about it, I guess I was just too ashamed to admit that I was being a **.
The kicker is that I do actually have pretty severe anxiety, enough so that I believe I would deserve to get SSI even without the lie.
