5. That psychologist was inappropriate and should be turned in.

You are allowed to ask for a different case worker at SOC-SEC which may bring up different results. You can also ask for someone else to evaluate you on the basis that the one you have been with makes you uncomfortable. It has gotten harder but it can be done. My ex just finally got onto SSDI after a year of jumping through hoops and he has a "seen" disability. He also got it granted from a judge who people trying for SSDI call the "hanging judge" as he is very hard to get it granted from. Of course he does not believe people with mental problems should get it so that can be a problem for someone like you. I got my SSDI in the early 90's when it was easier ( somewhat ) and mine is both physical and mental and my physical is unseen. It has been getting harder and harder and not meaning to scare you but even I wake up each morning wondering if this administration will have succeeded in taking everything away. Like I said my ex did manage to get it just last month so there is some hope for the rest of those trying.
