Judge ruled in my favor, I won my SSDI hearing for disability!

It was a very quick hearing, the psychiatric specialist played immense role, i didnt have to answer any questions.

I'd celebrate the win but I have nobody to celebrate with, also I just dont celebrate much these days. My lack of emotion doesn't help me get in celebration mode. I'll just do what I would do any given day but with celebratory tooting 😂
@Lucia
I'll celebrate with you in spirit!
@Lucia Here, have a celebratory reply 🎊

@Lucia I recently had a new friend chide me for not celebrating my achievements.

It's not that I don't ever recognise what I've accomplished. It's just that I don't like to stop when I'm on a roll. Particularly when it's something that opens up other possibilities and paths forward.

I'll typically set aside a quiet moment to feel good about myself in a few days or weeks. Or months. But I'll get there.

@katyswain In my olden days celebration for something like this could simply be celebrated by drinking, but i dont drink anymore. But I also am just not super into celebration

@Lucia I don't know much, but I have learned that it's not wise to use alcohol as a reward for a job well done.

When you find yourself defensively thinking "Hey! I _earned_ this breakfast beer!" it's probably a massive red flag. 😉

@Lucia if you like fish that is what Sushi is supposed to be for: Celebration.
Maybe take yourself to dinner?
@Lucia Congratulations!!!!!! I'm sure you are relieved, and that the SSDI will fill an important gap for you.

@Lucia That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! So relieved.

I've got a physical and a psychological exam coming up over the next few weeks. Maybe your good fortune will rub off on me. 🤞

Either way, I'm much relieved on your behalf. You needed this, and also to have that worry lifted. 🫂

@spiegelmama ty! I wish you the best on your own upcoming appointments

@Lucia 💐 So happy for you. I hope this brings you more certainty and stability. 💜

I've found that poverty is manageable; it's uncertainty that's so unbearable.

@katyswain Uncertainty is absolute rubbish.
@Lucia oh that’s awesome news, I’m so happy for you.
@Lucia Such a relief ! Congrats ! Have a bunch of celebratory emojis !          
@Lucia wow congratulations!!! That's huge!
@Lucia Congratulations!
