My Next Step

[trying2movefwd]

I've officially applied by way of an attorney. I have a long wait I know. I cried on the way trying to find rational reasons I am able to work. Sadly, right now Not being able to work is actually my realistc reality. Some day I hope to tolerate stress and regulate my emotions, for now though it's one day at a time. :nailbiting:

Applied to what?

I hope things go well for you.

I'm applying this week too, but have to wait for the denial before I can get legal help with this. REALLY hoping enough help actually comes through that I can afford to wait for full benefits. I understand how you feel, I wish I could work normally too, but its just not happening...I'm happy if the dishes get done and the dogs fed properly every day!

I am in the process too. I have a ssi advocate and they say it should come through though i will likely get denied first.

social security

Awesome! Thanks :) Figured it was something along those lines with the lawyer mention, but there are so many different possibilities one might be applying for -even with a lawyers help- in employment & education that asking seemed to be the best course.

I had a really bad two years with 16 total (inpatient and outpatient) hospitalizations. Mostly because meds were not working right, my ptsd symptoms have improved some, but i was still severely depressed, having panic attacks and impulsively suicidal at times, now that we know i have ptsd, severe major depression recurrent, panic disorder, and Borderline Personality disorder it all makes so much sense why some things just were not working. Today I'm glad to be alive. I just know working isn't in my list of short-term goals. I hope someday, but if not I will be greatful for what I have. My attorney says that due to the many hospitalizations it's his guess that I will be an exception and approved the first time through. I hope to goodness he is right. I don't know how well I would handle a denial. :nailbiting::bag:

I've officially applied by way of an attorney. I have a long wait I know. I cried on the way try...

I enjoy being productive and have big plans for the future. But I have to admit that a lot of stress is involved with such plans when one has to fight PTSD.

Ex abusers who refuse to get lost and stay out of my life are suggesting for me to not even try, so if I would listen then I would be marked as one who can not handle that kind of stress, it is very confusing.

However, I am going my way despite the fact that I am being harassed by some very low people.
