Be Careful of What Your Blanket Affirmations Support
You never know what you are enabling.
You never know what you are enabling.
When your young you have a idealistic vision of what life should be, go to work and do a good job and you will be rewarded. Then one day you become disabled and now you find yourself fighting for a small stipend and prove to the SSA that you are disabled enough not to work. I had all those dreams of a pain free life even if I have to wear the full leg braces it's better to be just disabled and not in constant pain. I miss the person I used to be ready to explore the mountains with my dogs and go for a swim in the lake. I miss having friends although friendships are hard when society looks down on my disability and I have to cancel plans because of the muscular dystrophy. So I decided to reshape my dreams so I'm not heartbroken when I look into the past and I'm 58 and became disabled at 40 so I have lived 40yrs without major pain so I'm happy I got to spend those years .
So if you find yourself thinking about brocken dreams then it's time to change your dreams 🙂#Anxiety #DegenerativeDiscDisease #MajorDepressiveDisorder #MuscularDystrophy #RareDisease #OCD #disabilty #Allodynia #hyperalgesua
Dealing with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis is not just adapting to the potential long-term changes but just everyday things…daily.
This adds to the burden on an already overburdened brain

Happy Tuesday. Has anyone been denied by SSI? I applied but was denied. My therapist said I should be eligible. Anyway, I had to get a lawyer and appeal. Has anyone been denied then won the appeal. I’m so nervous.

My place of employment was brought by a corporation. Staff members had to fill out new paperwork. When the question of disability came up, I did not know how to answer. I’ve been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and there are times it affects my work and sometimes it does not. I’m lost on how to answer . #MajorDepressiveDisorder #disabilty #MentalHealth #Work
