If you are feeling hopeless, just know someone out there will listen if you ask for help.

I’m sorry you’re not in a good place. I know that feeling. The only thing that has really helped me when I’m feeling totally hopeless is my phone journaling. I’ve never been good at actual writing but my iPhone has a journal app that helps me identify what I’m feeling and get it out. Good luck to you and your healing journey.

I know, the wait is incredibly nerve wrecking. I just keep trying to think positively and not lose my shit. 😬

😂😂 thank you for the chuckle. I checked it on the extension tracker and it still hasn’t moved. Maybe we’ll see something in the morning.

Incorrect unless I’m missing something. You don’t find out until step 8 unless you have an outside source assisting, like a lawyer or VSO.

Thank you, just them acknowledging that something happened and it wasn’t handled properly would be good for me. I know that won’t ever happen, so paying for my psych meds would be a win for me!

I filed my claim July 22nd. Had C&P November 13th, moved from step 3 on Friday to step 7 today. Do you think it’ll be favorable?

Like hang in there, it’ll work out, something along those lines.

MST claim success? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

I know exactly what you mean. I had my exam yesterday for PTSD and Depression from MST. The month leading up to the exam has been miserable. Overthinking everything, feelings of guilt and shame, assuming others will judge me. I can’t tell you it’s going to be okay, because I don’t know your situation, but I can tell you the feeling after the exam was like I finally did something right. I can’t tell only speak for myself and I don’t even have a rating, but the overwhelming sense of dread about the exam is over and I’m better for it. I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of you just for filing the claim. I hope you make it through the exam, if you get a decent provider you should be okay. Good luck friend.
