I would agree that most moms I know say you you don't use all the stuff on he lists. Can I get some no surprises -ma for the dental cleaning today? I used to take it in some stride, but sometimes there are situations I don't know I have and it's stressful.Thanks.

Thanks Teppy. I was i no way expecting you to respond to that. I'll discuss it with my OB at my next appointment just because my PCP seems to think I should go off of it a few weeks before ltc is born.

So I dropped my chromebook but it seemed to survive.

The private room that opened up has been given to someone else. Which, I think means, if there's another admit I'll get a roommate and I don't know if I can deal with that.

I want to talk to my nurse or social worker or someone but I can't because they are on shift change and it's just. I know I'm not the most important person here and I still have a place to myself but I've been stating since Saturday how important this is to me and it doesn't feel like it's been taken seriously.

I'm sorry, askye. I hope you can talk to someone soon.

I'm home. I should have done errands, but ltc is attacking my back. I have four doctor's appointments next week. I'm reserving Tuesday for mainlining television.

Things which are not terribly motivating: seeing new job postings for positions that I applied to months ago and never even got an interview.

I am being an anxiety ridden drama queen. At least that's what it feels like.

Also I have to give another urine sample becaue they left mine to sit too long earlier.

Saw the psychiatrist and resident also the social worker today.

Conversation with social worker went something like - disability is an option, it's not a great option, you'll probably get denied, you need documentation and lots of it, but you should get more info, just incase.

Psychiatrist is like -disability is not a good fit (in her opinion) I just need to go back to work and learn how to manage my anxiety and it will get better. Also she doesn't think I need any program post hospitalization except the therapy I was planning on doing.

Not really sure what to think. I'm staying in my room tonight May eat in here.

Hil it sucks the jobs are back up -- can you reapply? Do you want to reapply?

Universe -Hil needs an awesome job, give her one!

Lots of people get denied disability and have to appeal. There are lawyers who can help you with that if you go that route.

More often than not, actually.

I was "lucky" enough to end up in the hospital while my application was being reviewed. Someone made it known I was going to be denied if it wasn't for the hospitalization.

Also, the you need to learn to suck it up and deal with it without any practical advice on how to do that from a mental health professional really pisses me off.

It took five years from Hubby requesting disability to a judge finally saying "Yep, you're disabled." If you can afford it, get a lawyer as soon as you can. They'll do all the legwork for you.

edit: I don't know if it made a difference, but our case was the last one of the day, the summary of Hubby's condition was a two-inch-thick binder, and our lawyer cheerfully offered to go through the five file boxes of documentation if the judge had any questions. The lawyers who advertise on TV can be very effective.
