Scary-looking social security mail makes me anxious

[XanaDUer2]

I'm breathing.

I guess ( I'll call them tomorrow) my lawyer is appealing my ssdi turndown. Tons of mail came today. Have to fill out, and my helper, again all the forms I did six months ago. Do I have pets , etc? My lawyer is adding on my physical and eye limitations now.

I hate long forms from ss. Too much mail. They sent me dupes, too.

1. They sent me stuff like that this week

and I was confused since I am not allowed to collect SS (teachers in CA have a different system). Then I realized when I read it that it was just a form about turning 60 and having all your retirement stuff taken care of.

3. Thank God I have a good lawyer

Getting ssdi can be onerous

5. I know.

Whenever I get official mail from the IRS, etc I immediately get anxiety. I was debating having a glass of wine before I opened it.

6. I took half anti anxiety

I'm over it. You'd think I'm asking for a million dollars

2. I hear you,,,,

I hate 'official mail' from any of them,,,, federal, state, county, city governments,,,,
I hate forms, I hate proving things, I'm just old & cranky anymore.

4. Three letters

And three 8.5 x 11 functionality forms. One of the letters has something about scanning a big bar code on it

7. Don't blame you for being anxious.

But each step is one step closer to the end of this. You’re doing great.

8. My lawyer called

They said fill them out in pencil and bring them to their office.
