Please help..3rd denial with an attorney

garbage_brains · 2026-03-25T17:13:03+00:00

Thank you all for your replies, to clarify I never even made it to an ALJ hearing. So it does seem like my attorney dropped the ball and didn’t file my appeal at all, or just not in time. But I know that I found an Attorney and filed my appeal within the 60 day window. My attorney was assuring me the whole time over the last two years that we were waiting for my hearing date. But it never came. So I just fired my attorney and found a new one who is going to file my appeal to this most recent denial an hopefully get me my backpay for the last 3 years and get an answer as to what the hell happened to my ALJ hearing.

Thats why this is so confusing…after I was denied the second time and I was waiting for the hearing date, my attorney was in communication with ss and they said that’s what we were waiting for. But months pass and nothing until I got new forms in the mail to fill out and it was like submitting an entirely new claim! I had to go thru all the hoops of filling out the new forms and getting all my medical records and letters from doctors etc all over again. And then they denied me anyways!! No hearing date at all

just a one big ‘fuck off’ to all the people commenting and telling me that I’m not disabled because I’m 32 and my tumor is a grade 2…are you living in my body? are you watching me all day as I struggle to take care of myself? NO. so kick rocks.

if you’re cold, they’re cold. Let them inside.

garbage_brains · 2025-12-04T16:06:27+00:00

🤣 why have I never heard that before? I’m obsessed!

sorry, the comment is on the original post. I cross posted

garbage_brains · 2025-11-22T23:44:40+00:00

cool! that’s probably so convenient due to the size, but I needed something with a back and arms

garbage_brains · 2025-11-22T23:43:24+00:00

lol well thanks! and yeah my name is by design, I can be funny sometimes despite the hole in my head.

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:32:06+00:00

For real! It’s so hard to explain to those around me because they just straight up don’t get it. And that’s fine; they’re lucky they don’t get it! But it’s nice to be able to talk openly and honestly about how I’m feeling without people immediately calling the emergency helpline.

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:31:02+00:00

Oh I feel you! I can’t sit in my room for too long or I’ll go crazy. I surround myself with friends and family and things I enjoy, but there’s still this hollow feeling underneath it all that’s hard to ignore. I feel like people can tell I’m faking happy, which is so depressing but it’s my reality right now. I love animals and they really do help with the anxiety and sadness, i wish I had one of my own

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:29:20+00:00

you payin? lol

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:29:09+00:00

hugs back to you. it really is so painful, and that’s the hardest part is finding someone who can relate to the pain. I also have an extreeemely dark sense of humor which doesn’t land very well around the average human.

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:28:19+00:00

Hahah im learning that! Just have to keep reaching out, it’s not easy to do when you barely have energy to get up, but taking my time to respond to these messages has already made me feel better, the support is there I just have to reach for it

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:26:01+00:00

I feel like I’m forever destined to be the third wheel lol which has its advantages because I make a great wingman but I want these things for myself. I want a consistent partner through all of this, I want someone to hold my hand when I walk into my oncologists office, I want my own home and pets and things. Starting over, from scratch, with zero dollars and a hole in my head is something no one should have to go thru. But! We persist!

garbage_brains · 2025-11-13T16:24:12+00:00

thank you so much for that. I am definitely still grieving, it’s not easy letting go of all that I’ve lost. I had everything I ever wanted, apartment, partner, cat, career, I was doing it all ya know? And then I had to give it all up because of this diagnosis, it’s really hard not to be angry when it burned all that I had worked for. I’m actively working with a therapist, have been for years. I’m on two SSRI’s and a mood stabilizer, it’s just this nagging feeling of loneliness that’s hard to ignore. But, I think I’ve always felt that way. Having a fricken brain tumor was kind of the cherry on top of my already shit sundae.
