Denied ssi/ssd

Yup. And for one I was feeling "normal," happy, even. Now I've crashed so hard again. I was feeling good and even for the first time in years and now its gone. I knew it wouldn't last long. I'm trying to pull myself out of it. Like tomorrow, I'm going to get up early and dress nice. So outside I won't look as horrible as I feel in.
My lawyer hasn't contacted me back. I just don't know what to do. I have so many doctors appointments that I could never work a full time job. And even if I did, as history has showed, I will most likely end up back in the hospital.

I'm so clueless now. I have no idea how to live a normal life.

Oh my God. I just got told it will take up to three years for an appeal. I'm going to have to move away to an alcoholic father and lose this wonderful freedom and apt I have now... I just want to die.

I have appealed mine and still nothing, the lawyer told me to start a new application. Concentrating on the bp. I have a bit of a problem seeing that he dropped me as a client. so I tried one from the advertised lawyers and She told me the same thing.
Just what I needed to hear.
I have to apply again soon. Hate it but what else is there that I can do???
Wish you luck!

Everyone gets denied the first time. Try and Try again. If you have a doc dx for BP then that is all you need! But, must admit 2 docs with the same dx is even better!! BP is incurable. K?

I am about to apply to SSD soon so reading this has reminded me that very few get the OK on the first try. I am going to get a lawyer also but I guess this isn't a sure thing in the beginning either.

Hang in their and keep applying. I wonder how many appeals the longest person has had to apply to win. I once recall someone needing 5 times but am not sure. Lovely Lithdum.

I am a veg so sorry if I don't make a drop bit of sense.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
