I've reached a point where I can no longer live the way I have been living for 5 years now.
I have written about my disabilities before (fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, CFS) and how they affect my daily life. I am unable to work, and I have to ration my energy like it's valuable gold that will not be replenished. So I have been staying with my best friend for 5 years, while in the process of applying for disability income.
Yes, you read that correctly. FIVE YEARS I have been waiting. I had a lawyer from the very start, because I read that having a lawyer speeds the process along. What a joke. Here I am, 5 years later, having exhausted all resources, my friends and family's patience for me having worn thin, and with no hope for any positive news regarding my case any time soon. So what do I do now?
I go back to work.
I really don't know what else there is to do. Is my body able? No. But do I have a choice? No. I am backed into the proverbial corner, and it's time I made my move. I have no support, no one in my circle. I am the only one who can get myself out of this. So I guess that's what I will have to do.
More news as it happens, will keep this blog updated as long as I have internet access. (And I am not sure how much longer that will be.)
