It isn’t what you do for your country it is what they WON’T do for you….

Hello dear readers I am sure you have missed my insane ramblings.  My depression has taken its toll this week.  I am a horrible mother.  Instead of keeping the “fantasy” of a vacation to myself I shared it with my children just to have to let them down.  I am horrible.  I really thought the government or my lawyer would come through for me.  Those who don’t know I am trying for my disability.  I have medical and mental health issues.  After 15 years of working I just can’t do it anymore.  I applied last February and was turned down.  Everyone said go to a lawyer…hire a lawyer…this is bull crap. The road to hell is littered with lawyers.  I however listened to everyone and hired a lawyer.  I handed them the fate of my family and they haven’t done crap.  I expected them to harass Social Security and keep on pushing for us but they put us in a file folder and shoved us in a drawer like we weren’t anything.  After months of not hearing from them I called and all they could say was “Well it will take us 18-24 months to get a hearing”.  I have not known ANYONE who has received disability has to go to court.  That was all she said.  She even had the damned nerve to act pissy because I called.  I don’t think these lawyers or government officials think we are real live humans with human needs.  To them we are just a number in a freaking file.  That is why I wanted to take my kids on a very overdue trip with this money.  It isn’t even about that really.  It is the fact I am not able to keep working.  Between my physical health and mental health I am just a broken woman.  So I have decided that I will begin a campaign to start writing emails, letters, and make phone calls to higher government officials.  If I harass the right person then people will see me as human instead of a number.  I ask that you pray for my family.  We are Americans and we deserve better.

    I say re-apply for disability and call and harass the Social Security office every week, asking for the “status of your application”. It drives them nuts. Joseph’s case worker hated him. lol The fact that you are even more physically unable to work now than you were when you first applied SHOULD increase your chances vastly. I’d probably also fire the lawyer. Nobody needs THAT kind of help.
