Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Dear Althea: I read your posts all the time and I feel very bad for you. I wish there was something I could do for you. You can get SS for Depression if you are not getting it already for another thing. I hope you can get it or already have it for something else, that would help you. Sorry, you didn't get some money out of that accident. That is terrible. I am sorry you have to put up with that niece of yours who doesn't want to help out a little. I wish I could help you. If you lived near me I would be over in 5 minutes. Please keep the faith. Things have got to get better. That's what I do when things go wrong, I just pray. You be surprised how many times things do work out for the best. Take care, I will pray for you, that is all I can do, plus be your friend. Sincerely, J Colletti Anjillah@...

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Althea My sister who is 37 has been on SS disability for depression for about 5 years now. She was approved the first time she applied. If you want information directly from her, let me know. I'm sure she'd be happy to help.. I'm sorry for everything you're going through, I hope tomorrow is a better day. Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's ok to come here and whine, it's in the by laws. I hope something better comes out of this for you. It wouldn't hurt to talk to the psychiatrist. Go for it. Noreen [ ] A blue day Not sure what is the matter with me but I am in a definite funk. I usually get down when the sun isn't out but it goes away. Too many things going on this time. My BIL has settle down some and is making my niece help out. She pouts though afterwards and that doesn't help my mood. He is trying though. Everyone in the house is complaining that could be part of the problem too. Jay complains about work. Rodger complains about work and his women problems. complains about her father not taking her down to ee each weekend that he promises. In his defense his truck did break down and he did need to get some things taken care of. What is hard though is that there are no good words or feelings around and I need some sunshine inside the house to help me. I am down and they are taking me lower. My lawyer called...first his secretary tells me that the girl who hit me - her insurance company has tendered the maximum of her policy - $100,000...great - NO - the lawyer will take his 1/3, $33,333 and the doctor's who have liens against the settlement for my care - their bill adds up to $82,000 - that leaves me $14,667 in debt... What you say... Well the lawyer called today and said that my insurance company is willing to pay $25,000 for under insured policy max - my lawyer will take 8,333 leaving 14,666...I am only a $1 in debt. What you say... That is what I say...wait a minute. I was doing great last year. Getting ready to be released by my PT. My shoulder was 80% and my neck was fine. My aches and pains were from my RA...I could handle those. Then I get hit by a car in the rear end. I go to the hospital on a backboard. I have 2 surgeries and go to PT again. I have to drive 2 hours each way for this PT so can't do it. The gas costs too much and it hurts to much so I cance. Good thing I did or the bill would have been more. I am in agony for months. I am now in pain from my RA but have pain in my legs and back and hips - from the accident but nothing at this time can be done. There is no more money - I was so hoping for just a little money to pay back my Dad for the load for the furnace that we had to have and the house needs a major plumbing rehaul but now - looks like I will pay a dollar out of my pocket - At least I won't be in debt right. The doctors get paid $. The lawyers get paid $. I get paid in pain and anguish. No wonder I am depressed right. I am thinking of making an appointment with the VA and seeing a psychiatrist - maybe if he legally says I am insane that Social Security will pay me the disability they are denying me. My Mom said that that is how a friend of hers daughter finally got them to pay her. I am an honest - good person - I shouldn't have to go through all this. Why me? I promise to be in a better mood next time I post...It is difficult though - and I thank you all for listening to me whine and cry. My milk got spilt and there is no one to pick up the mess. God bless, Althea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 sorry you are feeling down. sure can see why. it is out of your control. maybe someone to talk to would help. but not to claim you insane. sounds like you need to find someone in your area to get out of the house when they are all trash talking. just go out foe a coffeee break. good luck to you. $ comes and goes. alot of my friends come to my house for sanctuary. sorry we are so far apart. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
