Well, I think it's a combination of anxiety and the fact that I have an enormous amount of difficulty with learning and retaining new information. That, and the fact that I have physical problems such as being unable to stand and walk for very long make it hard to find a job I can actually do. I am so relieved!!

Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you!!! I just found out that although I mailed my paperwork in a pre-addressed, no-stamp-necessary envelope with my return address on it two weeks ago, they apparently "lost" it. Thus, I had to fill it out again. I guess this time I'm taking it there in person. I'm not sure what they'll make of me. I'm clearly doing much better than I was when I applied, but every time I try to work full-time, I decompensate again. I've tried working with vocational rehab to get some support so I can try re-entering the workforce with help this time to make things more manageable, but all they say is that I'm "in the queue" to get services and will have to "wait my turn." I'm only 34, so I don't want to stay on disability for the rest of my life--but I'm scared of having my benefits removed before I'm ready. I'm making this all about me though, haha--sincerest apologies!! I am super happy that you won't have this worry hanging over you anymore
