You sound like I do when I am suffering with similar bouts of insomnia. Poor girl! I never had to meet with anyone at SSA before I met with their doctor. They conducted an hour long phone interview with me. Then about a month later, I received a letter with my appointment time/location to meet with SSA’s doctor. It was about six weeks after I received a phone call with the good news! My retro active payment of $22K was deposited three weeks later. Everything went much quicker than I expected. I filed in August 2005 and got my money March 2006. I really expected it to take a couple of years. I had to work harder than that to get my unemployment after 9.11 – it took FOUR MONTHS to get a check!
Get some rest sweetie! And thanks again for the b-day email! (l)
It was so nice to hear your voice! I almost cried after I listened to your post. Hope you get some sleep soon.
I hope you sleep better in the future Barb.
Well that’s actually good news… not the sleep part… the SS part. At least your able to move forward. (y)
G’luck on the SSI!
I can come over there and knock you in the head with a hammer to knock you out. However many times you want. LOL
Awwww girl…I’m sorry but you sound pretty good considering. Hold on, things WILL get better.
csb, I am so glad I don’t have to meet with their doctor! I’m hoping that’s a good sign. (y) This insomnia is really killing me.
Tinka and April, thanks!
Dawgg, yeah, it’s about time I filed, too! The whole process is so overwhelming–all that paperwork and crap. I really couldn’t have done it without my CM–he rocks!
KG, thanks. I would love it if you came over and knocked me over the head. As long as you bring some cookies.
Hey, have you checked your Neo account yet?
Robin, I always sound good!
Actually, it’s the “game face” I managed to develop over the years. My pdoc once told me that if I didn’t describe my symptoms, there are some days even he wouldn’t be able to tell that I’m depressed. 
Thanks for the well wishes.
