No Social Security for Me

[kevyn]

I got the results of my appeal for Social Security disability today. They've turned me down yet again for assistance for my chronic depression and/or bipolar disorder. Even though my life is still in a shambles and I can't control my moods and have had incredible difficulty keeping a job because of it, I'm just not disabled enough to merit assistance. Feh. Not like I thought I was going to get it anyway, but I had to jump through the hoops because my social workers and my mom have been pushing me to do it. Like I care.

Now I have to decide whether or not to hire a lawyer to contest the rejection in court. I don't know that I have that much perseverance right now.

*hugs* dragon_trinket has - oh, you name it... chronic pain of various sorts, limited mobility, she has an entire shelf of prescription meds, has been in the emergency rooms of hospitals about every two-three months for years... and they denied her.

Try again, hon. I know it sucks. I wish I could hug you in person, or help out in some way. *morehugs*
