job ~
Had a job interview the other day with a copy place near me. It went well, and they're supposed to call me today to let me know if I got it but I just, got a bad feeling today. :(

Breaking down and applying for SSI today. Should have done this years ago tbh, but my partner back then threatened to leave if I got on disability so, fuck me.

@Lumb good luck!!! i'm sending you all the best energy i possibly can!!!
you're probably well on top of it, but if you don't have a lawyer, definitely look into getting one - and don't be discouraged if you get rejected the first time around. honestly they reject absolutely everyone the first time around and seem to only sit and look at the evidence eventually if there's a lawyer's name in there somewhere too. it's a fucking bastard of a system at first for sure. :(

Huh, good to know. I knew they deny everyone at first, but I had no idea about getting a lawyer on it. idk... if or how I would do that, but I'll look into it, thanks. :)

@Lumb don't give up tho!! like i said it's a bastard of a system and... is really good at trying to grind people down unfortunately
that's about all i have in terms of Top Tips honestly, but if there's anything more i can help with totally feel free to come pester me!!! the best of luck to you! <3

@Lumb fortunately they've actually managed to reduce the turnaround time lately
but, well, it's still a long time unfortunately
the good news is that the legit lawyers who do disability are halfway to social workers a lot of times - it's not really a specialty you go into for the money alone lol - so they might know resources available to you immediately as well (fingers crossed!)

Yeah, that I know. Big part of why I feel like I should have done this years ago. I might just now be getting approved if I had lol
