    Hello @5782341b77vl .
    I am continuing to keep you in my thoughts as you prepare for your disability court case this coming Thursday. I hope that the court case goes well and the resulting outcome helps your situation.
    Sending a hug to you <3

    Thank you @rosemow for the hugs and kind words. I've really been fretting over this case for the past few days. I can feel my heart about to pound its way out of my chest, as the court day gets nearer. The outcome will effect me for the rest of my life, and I'm really praying I'll get it. My mom had a triple bi-pass done afew years ago, and I don't want her stressing out on if I'll be alright later in life. Poor mom doesn't need stress. If I get my disability, it'll be one less worry for mom. If I can't win -

    (I don't have a "Plan "B", so I'm stopping this post here)

    Hello @5782341b77vl . I will keep you in my thoughts in these days leading up to the case, and will especially be thinking of you on Thursday. It is a concerning time for you. Try to take it a step at a time. I hope that the outcome is good and beneficial for your situation. Whatever the result, you will know more after the case has taken place and you can go from there.

    :pensive:

    I've tried speaking to everyone (doctors, psychologists, parents) about my NVD, and no-one seems to be able to help. The only advice any of them offered me was "Don't think about it". Sadly, with my severe lack of any friends and my constant motor disability, it's rather hard (and damaging) to ignore it.

    Who do I even have for support any more? :(

    Hello @Swiftlover13 . I send big hugs to you <3 Perhaps try talking over again how you are feeling mentally and physically with your doctors. They may be able to offer advice and help, or be able to refer you to another medical specialist that will be the most beneficial for the treatment of your health. Another medical specialist may provide you the assistance and support that you need. It is not nice that it is affecting your day by day living. You are a very special person. There are people supporting you and your parents care and love you. They are with you helping you through this time, and how you are feeling. They can't take away how you are feeling but they are caring about you.
    I send another hug to you <3

    I have had a lot happen these past three months. February my grandma died (I was very close to her), March my cat was put down due to a tumor that had returned (we have had her for so long it is weird without her here; we have had her as long as I remember), and I am dealing with some background stuff as well.

    Hello @JanaTheAnimeNerd I am sorry to hear of the passing away of your loving and loved grandma. It has been a sad time for you and your family. You will keep forever treasured and special memories of her and special times that you spent with her, always in your heart and thoughts.
    Our pets are very special animal members of our family household. You would be missing your cat, especially when she has been with you for a long time. She is now not in pain.
    I send hugs to you <3 in all that these recent months have held and all that your life is holding day by day for you.

    Here's a quote that I'm particularly fond of, as I suffer from depression, anxiety (the list goes on and on) and have been hospitalized in the past. Don't forget that our struggles are what makes us human.
    "I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person." -Judith Hill

    Hello @xooemily . I send hugs to you <3 in all that your life is holding. If you are concerned about posting here how you are feeling or about issues that are happening in your life , you may like to talk them over with a family member or friend, or be in touch with your doctor. They will listen and offer help. Talking things over with others can be very helpful.
    We are here to listen, care and support if you would like to post here at any time.

    Hello @wolfkomoki1 . I am sorry to hear that the area where you live has been experiencing flooding. It would involve a lot of work to recover from the effects of flooding. There would need to be much cleaning up. Weather conditions can cause a lot of damage to both outdoors areas as well as interiors of homes,
    I hope that the recovery from the flooding continues to go as well as can be expected.

    Well, Tomorrow is the big day... 10AM... Eastern... UGH! I'm down-right terrified! I'm praying to death that I get my disability. I can't work if I'm having dizzy spells and/or grand-Mal seizures on the job. I also have failing motor-skills (shake like a chihuahua - and getting worse)! Add to that my Autism, my failing vision, my delayed mental development, my memory issues - there's more, but I'll cut off here - and I seriously doubt I'd be hired by anyone :( !

    From what my lawyer told me, the judge hearing my case is a "slow" judge, and might not even make the decision that day (mail his verdict) ! Add to this the fact that I don't know how long for first disability to start - my apartment lease is up June 20! I really don't want to crash with a relative while waiting on a decision... that may end up being a "Denied"... :s

    I really have no Plan "B" if this fails. Despite all the medical records - about 1/2 as thick as a door frame (seriously)- and written statements from many of my past doctors that basically say I'm unable to work and need to be on disability, I don't have a "sure-fire" at getting it. I've been trying for ten years (little over) to get this. I'm tired. Everything comes down to this. If I fail, I don't know what next. I'm tired. I can't keep on doing this forever. :tired_face:

    All who read my post - No matter what your religion, please pray for me.

    Hello @5782341b77vl I send big hugs to you <3 I keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare for and attend the case tomorrow. You have so many health issues that you are needing to endure through in your life. It is hard for you, as your health conditions affect your life day by day. The judge will read your medical records and then make his decision. It is hard, but try to take a step at a time. I hope that you can find out the decision of your case as soon as possible. It is understandable that the court process is tiring you. You are not very well, and then the preparation for the case and the thinking about it adds extra strain and pressure on your already unwell health situation.
    I send more hugs to you <3 Please let us know how the case goes,

    I will pray that everything works out for you. <3 (I will say if you're in the states, I've heard that most people get denied on their first try. And have to appeal it. Then when they do get paid, they'll get all back pay as well (from the first time you applied). I personally have no experience with it. It might be a long road you are on, but don't give up and keep faith. :)

    Well, I'm glad to say I'm getting my disability. It will take up to 30 days for the paperwork to be finalized (judge sets amount per month, etc.). My disability starts 30 days after that. Then 29 months after which, I can have Medic-aid (I don't have health insurance) which I badly need. I felt it was important to let y'all know.

    Hello @5782341b77vl . I am so very glad that you are getting your disability! That is so very great! It is great that you will also be able to access Medic-aid too. Thankyou very much for letting us know. <3 I am so pleased for you! It will be a relief for you to know that you will have this income support to help you as live with your health issues.

    This is great news for you. Hopefully they will retro pay you back to the first time you were denied. That's what they do in the state I live in. I know it really helps people a lot to get that retro pay and get caught up after struggling for so long. Now you can use your energy to get better and be healthier instead of stressing so much about your income.

    It's not as far back as I'd hoped (only Oct. 2014) but it's something (I think I started this around 2007). They haven't setup how much a month, though I have afew friends who get $4000/mo (but mainly due to "Agent Orange" exposure :( ). I know mine won't be that high. I just hope for enough to live on, since I'm basically unemployable. :( Medic-aid will be a huge help with all my health issues. I'm so relieved now. One major hurtle cleared - next one: getting me a trailor (or something affordable) to call "home". I know everything's gonna be alright now. :relieved:

    Hello @5782341b77vl lt will be good when you are able to find further details such as the amount of money that you will receive each month. It is a relief for you now though to have the knowledge that you will have the income support. It helps to relieve the money pressure and stresses that was on your mind. It will help you as you live with your health issues to not have those worries as well . I send hugs to you <3
