I've Been Procrastinating

[shanns_ljidol]

Well, with an hour to spare I guess it's time that I introduce myself. Although most of you already know me. So maybe I'll just do a quick catch up.

"Week 0" topic is a non-mandatory (it doesn't count against you if you don't do it) exercise. It's the introduction post, which I hate. I feel put on the spot and I don't know what to say

Welcome back to idol!

Thanks!!

Hi! And welcome back. Good to see you, and best of luck. Idol is kind of great because we're basically dared to open up and be vulnerable. So we run into a lot of other folks with similar mental issues. Kind of the opposite of the real world, where we're all basically told we have to hide it all and be "normal".

I don't envy your disability claim fight. I've tried that once myself, and often think of taking another swing at it. Best of luck to you. Here and in the real world.

If you try for disability again definitely have an attorney. Mine has been amazing and I'd probably have been intimidated to give up because of all of the paperwork and forms and info that goes into it. My attorney and his staff have been amazing at helping me work my way through this.

OMG their faces! :3 cuuuute.

Thank you for sharing! I live somewhere I can't have a dog, so I have to live vicariously through other people's pets. :)

I'm an avid reader as well, though other hobbies have taken my attention somewhat over the last year. I'm hoping that as my clients at work get used/adjusted to me, I will have more time to read on breaks and lunch. Right now, I'm a new thing, and they both do and do not like new things, so it's taking a lot of my time for them to adjust to my presence.

I have several friends currently fighting the disability fight, so I wish you well. It's not an easy road. I'm glad you have a therapist you trust.

Good Luck this season!
