[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 344783, member: 1514"] I agree with Timer Lady, Finding oneself on disability is a shock to a persons self esteem. While you feel a sense of relief that you won the battle to get the decision, you also feel a sense of failure as a person. At least I know I did. I was mad, sad, glad and depressed all at the same time. I felt like I was of little use to the world and my family anymore. Of course, just getting the decision didnt make the disability any more real because I had been disabled for a long, long time but it made it more final, more real in the eyes of some legal entity. I had desperately wanted that but then it also came as a sense of "ok, this is really it, now I know for sure it really is as bad as I knew all along." I dont know if that makes a bit of sense. I think the anger does lessen in time. I know it did with me. I have seen my son struggle with being frustrated with the man of the house syndrome and it is hard on him. His physical problems are getting worse with age and it really worries me. [/QUOTE]
