I applied in April. Denied in Septemeber. Reconsideration appeal sent in November. SSA sent me 3 letters so far...
1ST LETTER was in first week of January- they said my pdoc of 6 years wasnt sending in my medical records, I need to get him to do so. I've tried and tried. It's just not gonna happen. Been seeing someone new since end of November.

a week later
2nd letter saying SSA scheduled me for a psychiatric exam as well as an appointment to see an internist. (I did this in July for the initial application. WTF?)

and the this week I have to fill out the Function Report - 8 pages of how my illnesses etc limit my activities. I'm so stressed out beyond relief. I have no idea what to say? Everyday is different, but basically the same. Is there such a thing as TMI?

any help is appreciated. it's gonna be a struggle the next 2 weeks to go through this and then the waiting.. AGAIN. It seems these things are designed to break us. I feel threatened, dismissed, and like I'm being punished.

Like theyre waiting for me to die, or become homeless while this process drags on... it's discouraging.
