I totally agree but is one less stress sort of. The disability Ipaid for through work made me apply and appeal and is now hounding me to get the lump sum payment because they want most if not all of it...will be happy when I get them all off my back for a while.

Yes, I get that. You probably feel a lot like I did when I "won" my MVA litigation. :hug:

You got that.......we could all use one less stress. maybe more

LauraM,

Congrats on your SSD acceptance. What a load off your shoulders. :)

I'm getting ready to apply. Seems like a mountain of work!:(

Audio books and dark rooms. I found that house management/cleaning helps and fills the day. Going for 2 long walks every day helps too, especially if at dusk or slightly after sunset so that its not bright.

I don't bring my wallet, just in case... :)

Yup, its miserable sometimes. I really need to go to Walmart and Costcos to pick up stuff for the house, but I just cant. Both are close enough to where I can HOPEFULLY safely make it there, but the way my driving has been, its not worth it to endanger anyone. Thats the other thing, if I were to go, I probably could not handle all the bright lights and stimulation from other shoppers. Had difficulty at the grocery store thats 2 minutes away with my wife the other day. Its annoying.

Oh well, im hoping soon someone can bring me there, just so I can get out for a little bit. Its sad that I looked forward to going to the Dr and the therapist just to get out.

Oh my! Waiting on everyone else to take me somewhere makes me feel like a burden. On days I feel like getting out it all depends on if someone is available. I'm not one to be dependent. I've always been the giver.

Really, really feel bad that people are putting so much energy into me. I never wanted to be in this spot.

I do shop for some household things on amazon or walmart. I set aside quiet time and use my iPad. Keep it quick. Free shipping right to my door. I even ordered a46lb bag of dog food and the delivery man put it inside the front door for me. ☺️

I'm still trying to come up with more ideas for us all

The chat is set up. We could all have some real time conversations soon!

Oh! I know this is going to sound silly, but coloring books.
