RE:  Assistance Needed  for Social Security Claim Pending

         Requestor in very bad health and  needs your immediate help

   

My name is Debra , I need your help to Over Turn  the  denial after denial for my Social Security disability claim filed.  I am homeless, and in desperate need of financial assistance in order to survive. Will you help me?

I have tried going through Congressman DeFazio without success.  I am petitioning  for your help in this most vital matter.  My Attorney is Mark Manning , he is working on my second appeal.  He said, it could take 18 more months.  I have been waiting since 2007 for SSI to be approved.  I have to have the medical and mental health support that I so desperately need.   I desperately need the disability our government offers in order to get re-established and get back on my feet, so I can again become the  productive citizen I once was.   I suffer from Unremitting Depression,  Anxiety, Panic,  PTSD,  Agoraphobia, just to name a few of the diagnoses. I am in dire need of a grant I can obtain while waiting for my appeal. What grants would I qualify for?  Please help.

Depression can manifest itself in physical pains like body pain, headache etc. Problems like constipation, joint pain and tiredness are also associated with depression. A depressed person fails to concentrate on work and may be easily provoked. Adults tend to lose interest in work and prefer seclusion while children may stop playing and turn very quiet and lost.

The term ‘depression’ is variedly used and understood. When we see someone who was a cheerful fellow sink into melancholy and lose interest in most of the things what he does, the obvious conclusion is that the fellow is ‘depressed’. Depression, in other words, is a state wherein a person undergoes a sudden loss of interest in what he or she enjoyed earlier.

Such a person carries around a rather sad look on his face and his body language consistently suggests lack of human warmth. At times, the affected person might not even be aware of his condition.

Among other things that are symptomatic of depression is an irregular sleep pattern. A person who is reeling under depression would fail to have a regular sound sleep. A normal person would sleep for around 7 or 8 hours a day, while a depressed person may fail to sleep even for a few hours. He or she would either keep awake the whole night or would keep rising every hour or so. At times, the person may sleep all through the day and may stay awake the whole night.

Appetite changes are also noticed. Some would stop eating while some would turn into walking, talking gluttons. This means some people would gain weight while others would shed some. Among adults, loss of libido is also symptomatic of depression.

A depressed person fails to concentrate on work and may be easily provoked. Adults tend to lose interest in work and prefer seclusion while children may stop playing and turn very quiet and lost.
 
A dip in self-esteem is often noticed, which causes isolation. And isolation tends to worsen the problem. The depressed people tend to cry for no reason at all. This is because they feel sad deep inside and cry out of helpless. If a child is depressed, he or she might throw unreasonable tantrums and expect you to do meet his utterly unreasonable demands. When someone is depressed everything appears dark and pointless. He or she has a very negative take on life and is utterly hopeless towards the future.

Depression can manifest itself in physical pains like body pain, headache etc. Problems like constipation, joint pain and tiredness are also associated with depression.

If one or more of the above symptoms are noticed, it is better that a psychiatric help is sought at the earliest because depression can get more intense, and may also become life threatening in certain cases. PLEASE HELP.

Debra, I don't know what state you are in, and I know how difficult it is to be in the waiting stages for disability to come through.  I can tell you from personal experience that When I was waiting it was actually social services through public assistance who helped us get by.  Barely, but we made it.  In fact they were the ones who told me to apply.  I have several diagnoses, and it took over a year, but I got an attorney after my first appeal.  You are a strong woman, or you would not be here now being able to tell us your situation.  If nothing else they should be able to point you in the direction of local agencies that can help you get by in the mean time.  I hope that helps a little.  Good luck and God Bless.  You are in my prayers.

 Honestly,

Dannielle Lionhearted
