Exhausted but trying
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working pretty hard the last few weeks to have better habits. I’ve been doing a lot of cooking and most of it has been very healthy!
I’ve been exercising more often, and since my physical therapy is over I try and do the home exercises in the morning.
I’ve been trying to reopen my case with the DOR. It’s been awhile since they closed my case in September or October, but I’m ready to begin again. I sent emails to my counselor and the supervisor of her team (since I couldn’t remember who said I could email when I’m ready) and I’m waiting to hear back.
If it doesn’t work out I’ll have to figure out how to reactivate my Ticket to Work so I’ll be protected as I try and enter the workforce and then start job hunting for remote work.

Hello there integrityblues!
So glad to read you are doing your best to improve your life for better! 🎉
You can be proud of yourself 💜
Sorry if I don't understand the meaning of the acronym DOR, but it seems like you also are trying to organize your job, which is surely an important aspect.
Hope to hear from you soon so you will eventually explain me DOR and update with the emails you are waiting for!
Department of Rehabilitation is a vocational rehab that helps disabled clients find work.

Thank you integrityblues now I understand it better!
Hopefully there will be soon good news then :)
Hi @integrityblues
It's been awhile. I stopped posting as much because there was a weird bug going on where it would put a ridiculous amount of space in my messages and freeze. Things are working normal again.
I'm working on changing health habits as well. Started eating on an eating schedule, going to the YMCA and doing my PT exercises and Cubii machine daily. My long depression wave is over (for now). Life is getting better and better.
Good luck with your case and the remote work hunt.
Thanks bestVase. It’s nice to see you again.
I get what you mean about the spacing because I’ve had to change the amount of space I put between sentences that start new paragraphs (like, none so it looks bunched a bit but posts well enough).
I’m doing as well as I can considering the situation. I’m just stressed out and a little emotional as well as exhausted.
Actually that was SweetPea. I am so sorry that I haven't responded before now. My father is really sick and isn't eating. I am very worried and am spending a bit less time on 7 Cups at the moment.
I am so glad that you are doing so great with the exercises, diet, and that you are getting ready to find work again. I really do believe that you can find something. It is exhausting, but you are right. Trying is everything. @integrityblues
I’m so sorry about your dad, bestVase! Take all the time you need.
Unluckily, he is not better. Family stress and illness is the worst. I am just limping along at this point.@integrityblues
Trying to find some kind of spot for that. I do better in the morning when I am doing regular stuff, but then everything starts hitting in the afternoon with my dad and I end up in these horribly long and taxing email, phone, and Zoom chains. @integrityblues
Whoops! Sorry about that. I’m juggling a lot as I cook dinner. I’m still happy to see you, and I get it; waves of depression can go suck eggs!
@integrityblues Hello! That's really amazing. You're awesome for making great progress with your healthy habits. Cooking nutritious meals and exercising regularly are wonderful ways to take care of yourself. I hope your case with the DOR gets resolved positively, and I really hope that they will get back to you soon. Thank you so much for celebrating your achievements with us ❤️
Thanks
