Disability

my doctor filled out my source statement today, and I've made a copy and dropped it in the mail. the source statement is a social security form that an attorney needs to determine if he/she will take ur case. I have until January 14th to appeal the decision again. things r started to move forward finally after ten months. it might be around a year before I get disability.
 
I finally got a lawyer to take my case. this was/is based off of the source statement. I have 10 days to complete about 20-25 pages of paperwork. I've already completed it, so I'll send it tomorrow once I know the email address. :) after that, it's a matter of waiting about 20 days to have ur case heard.

right now, I'm visiting my grandmother. she's dying, so this will probably be the last time I see her. with the disability stuff going on, it's been really hard.
 
I know it seems hard, but you can't let anything hold you back. It's only gonna get harder if you don't do for self now. You can't rely on anything or anyone to save you... you have to do that for yourself. Make the most out of it. I know plenty of people who are disabled who do not let their disabilities hold them back.

I just lost my last grandparent less than a year ago. A few day shy of 104 and I still wish I had more time with her :D
 
Let's just say I heard someone who is like a cousin to me who faces serious disabilities is now working in video games. He is doing something we all would love to do, while I'm stuck in the grind like the majority of us. But we keep grinding, and perhaps one day we can make our dreams come true too.
 
Damn @pinky & @tthousand & @atreyu187 - I'm sad to read all of this news, ranging from disabilities to deaths of elderly relatives. I still remember the death of my schizophrenic uncle that happened in 2015 like it was yesterday.

As for your disabilities @pinky - I really do hope that your health improves, if possible, or if not, then I hope that you will be able to easily adapt to such lifestyle changes caused by your disabilities.

thank u, my friend. I have schizoaffective disorder which is schizophrenia coupled with bipolar disorder. I've been very open about it, 'cause I don't want people to hate me. it's been suggested that I have a dr. jekyl/mr. hyde personality, but that's actually me. I'm sorry to everyone I've offended, but I've met another person in the ps3 scene with the same condition, so I'm not alone. I don't want people to think I'm acting out or making excuses, but that's the real me. it hurts me a lot that certain people, u know who u r, benefited by me while when I needed them, were no where to be found. it's been 18 months now that I've filed for disability, so I've grown a bit po'd especially after hearing that people get disability for ptsd. god, America is a mess when that happens. who doesn't have ptsd really?
 
Yea life's a bitch and then we pass, it's the fleeting moments with family and friends that makes it bearable. Took me many many years to come to terms with that. I had the worst habit one could have once my grandma died as I never said goodbye but she was young, way to Young to pass. Thought I had time but alas those days are passed and now I have my kid whom I named after her grandma that helped me get clean sober and past that point in my life.
 
I've been trying to keep clean myself, but it's been hard with all the stress I've been under. it's especially bad for someone, such as myself, who has a mental condition. I do apologize to everyone if any of my outbursts have offended u. I certainly didn't mean to. and, I feel tremendously bad inside when I realize I've made one. there's frustration and anger inside of me that simply boils over largely due to being denied disability twice. it seems like everyone gets disability except for those people who truly need it. my sister's boyfriend's brother is filing for disability as well, and I think his liver is about to blow up. he's been denied several times too. anyway, I'm trying to hold myself up, and at this time, yeah, I do need friends and family a lot. I don't have many friends in real life though, just people I meet online, so it's difficult to have that sort of connection. I have one real life friend who insults me when he gets drunk every weekend, so that's an incredibly unhealthy relationship to have. btw, my grandmother passed away last December. I didn't even go down to see her since car rides make me sick, and it was going to be like a 7-hour long one. I've felt awful about that.
 
btw, I got a dietician and a medical doctor to help me get healthy again. I don't meet with the dietician 'til next Monday, so hopefully this will be a step in the right direction. I know I certainly need to quit drinking completely for the above reason. I'm very thankful for the support I've been given by all of u. thank u.
 
it's been difficult, and I've had a few stubs in the way. I know I've messed up a lot, but I want u all to know that I've tried to make it up with my knowledge. I can't help being who I am. I'm trying to change, but it's hard. I missed my counseling appt today, because I was jittery and shaking. it's horrible thinking something bad is going to happen every single time u leave the house. to think my parents r going to die or my dogs whom I care about so much. I can't bare either being outside of my sight. I'm so paranoid, depressed, and anxious that I can't function. please, bare with me. I found one person with the same condition as I have, but he's going to be gone for ten weeks, so I'm on my own. :(

that's what has me worried. I don't know if I can go through this process again. I'm still waiting on a hearing. it seems as though everyone who doesn't need disability gets it, and those who do need it, don't.

Yeah it seems all the .sshole's get it then you see the 4 hundred pounder in Las Vegas parting it up !:devil: I have osteomelitus witch means I have bone infection I am at risk of losing my foot plus many other things to long to list they want all of us dead as soon as possible it seems I worked 30 years in auto wrecking and as professional mechanic . I have 64 work credits if you are familiar with those I feel so .ucked over by america! .uck this country! took all my money without losing it!?:devil:
 
I feel for ya, man. my father is an auto mechanic. he hasn't reached retirement age yet. as for me, I haven't worked long enough to file for normal disability. I think u have to have worked for seven years to file for that. I was in school for a good number of years, so I didn't enter the workforce until late. plus, the nature of my disability means being on disability for life. I think both of those things r working against me. it's a really difficult process especially when u lose just about everything during it. I now have virtually no money, so I have to keep borrowing from my parents. I had to move back in with them too.

I am in th same boat.lol o well at least I'm breathing eating and sh:eagerness:...ing.
 
I have some good news. I was accepted into the patient assistance program to get a new medication, saphris. it's to help with sleep. I was told that it tasted bad, but it tastes like a cherry. my favorite drink is black cherry, so I don't mind the taste. ;) it helps me sleep, but it takes about an hour to work. you can't eat or drink anything for twenty minutes after taking it. it goes under your tongue too. :P

I had to reapply for snap (food stamps), but I sent my previous doctor's letter as well as the source statement my current doctor filled out for my lawyer. I made a copy of everything., so I had it in hand. :)

so far, I've gotten free healthcare (thank god I'm Indian), snap (food stamps), accepted into the patient assistance program for saphris, which the pharmacy doesn't have on hand, and my student loans have been expunged. I didn't have much in the way of student loans though. I had like $12,000. I got a lot of grants and scholarships. I graduated from a four-year college (the University of Oklahoma). :D
 
sounds awesome pinkypoo looks as if things are starting to go your way. I'm glad things are starting to work out for you. Keep looking up there are always silver linings on those dark clouds. I had a surgery today & then another surgery on Monday. I start my treatment on Tuesday so everything's starting to move right along, here's hoping :courage:

yeah, bitsiboo. like my title. ;) to get my hearing, it normally takes between six months to a year. we're coming up to month 10 on the 16th.

I hope all goes well for you. I've missed you a lot. those Jason memes always make me lol. I also love the Jason emojis especially that one where he's slashing with a knife. I think either cards or grimm named it bitsbubba. lol
