Default New disability claim

Hi friends,
I have an appointment to go in to the local social security office on March 4th to start a new disability claim. Please keep me in your prayers. I think I will end up committing suicide if I do not get approved this time. I can't keep putting this burden on my family. I have no life without having any money. I really can't do anything. I have not had a haircut for almost 4 years.

I am prepared with new diagnosis and letter from neurologist. Also I have my MRI that shows problems. I will have to submit the report from the Neuropsychological testing later as I am still having tests and do not have a report yet. But I wrote pages on what my symptoms are and how they effect my daily living. I have a letter from my ex-husband that tells about all the times he was with me that I passed out and hit my head on cement and had many concussions. I will get a new letter from my pain doctor. I will have to submit that later also as I do not have an appointment with him until March 19th. But they already have many letters of support from him. Do you think they go back and look at the evidence from your previous claim?

Any advise would be very much appreciated. Again, please pray for me.

Love to you all,
Brain
