My Appeal

Thank you to everyone who supported me and gave me encouragement to appeal my SSDI case.

I called the company that is handling my case and they are going to handle the appeal.

It will take a long time though. But at least I'm not giving up - just wanted to let you all know...

I admire your courage and determination !

Hang in there, it may take a while, but it will be worth it

What Dd said.

Glad to hear you have someone to handle your appeal.

Remember you have your DS family here for support during those times when you want to give up.

Keep plodding on heretic towards that appeal. Don't forget to lay it on thick with the pdoc when you pick up your meds each month about how suicidal and hopeless you feel. Document document.

    When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*.
