Thanks for asking Bill3.
Things are looking up. I got approved for disability, just found out this week and am now waiting to hear from the disability office when my benefits will start, but that's a huge relief.
I had my first day down at Progress Place, and it was really good. I wound up doing a bunch of different things. Admittedly they were all below my skill level, but at least I felt useful. There was a mix of cognitive abilities among the people there, but everyone was nice. I'm goiing to go back on Mon.
I had to drop out of IOP, as I missed too many sessions due to being depressed, but I have the option of restarting in Jan. if I want, and if I'm feeling better.
I saw a job ad, for people to take orders, over the phone, at a pizza place, that I'm going to apply to, today. That's something I know I could do, and would probably even enjoy somewhat. So we'll see how that goes.
I have no desire to drink, which is a relief, but I'm continuing to go to my Double Recovery meetings for support.
And I'm not as depressed as I was, which is a relief.
