MDJunction to me

saralaurie"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

I'm in Oregon. I filed 2 years ago, have had 2 denials and am waiting for my hearing. My representative says Oregon isn't as bad as some states, but it sure feels like it's taking a long time!
Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain!

I live in Oregon. I applied for SSD because I have lupus and I couldn't work anymore. I filed June/08 and was denied Oct./08 appealed with a lawyer and was approved Feb.09.

I wrote to my Congressman and governor and anybody else I could think of. I even found my case worker's email address and sent her emails almost everyday. Letting her know my family was going without food. Letting her know I couldn't get my Rx's with no money. I couldn't go to the doctors because I had no money for gas. And so on.

I think everyone was tired of me and just gave in!!!
