now what?
So, today I get a letter from my former employer. they have set a hearing date to hear my appeal. Of course, they didn't follow directions and send it to my attorney. I faxed a copy to him. I emailed him and now I have to get all kinds of information gathered. I feel like I am running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Then, I took the taxes to be done. Not much coming back. Enough to help with living expenses I guess.
I then got a call from Colorado Dept of Labor. I was told at my termination that my former employer would not block or fight my claim. Now, it is looking like they just might be. I guess that could be expected since I am appealing the termination. What a bunch of fun I am having.
My husband is stressing about the finances...I am too. I just can't help the situation. I am so miserable and a major stressed out mess between my family and finances to all the legal business. I am ready to just give up. I quit. I want off this ride and I don't want to go on anymore. I am tired of being in this body and this life. I want out!
What do I do? I cannot find employment because of the termination reasons. Nobody wants to hire a gimpy mental mess. I can't get SSDI because I have no diagnosis...it is completely hopeless.
I feel like each time something looks like it might be going well, then another thing comes and slams be back into the pit of despair...I am never going to crawl out!

Deep breath. Get through the hearing first. Don\'t quit. They are hoping you will. Stay strong and stay the course. This will help you in the long run toward getting your SSDI. Maybe your attorney could suggest a doctor who could get it for you. They usually have someone in their back pocket.
Gentle hugs, LInda
Thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Don\'t give in to the bullying tactics. Believe in yourself as your true friends do. Hugs Roland
I am sooo sorry that you have to go thru this. Just stay strong and do not give up. Do not let those bullies win. They want you to give up. Do not give them the satisfaction.
I know that money will be tight. Money can come between a lot of good marriages. I am working on that with my husband. It can cause more stress than one person can handle. Stress will only make you feel worse. Take a deep breath and slow down. It will get better.
Linda reminded me to read the Bible in hard times. To turn to God in these dark times. I\'m sorry if you think I am preaching to you. I know some people get offended. I truly believe He can help you. Have faith. You are in my prayers.
