Denied

Got the denial of my appeal for disability in the mail yesterday. That was not the news I needed to help me out of this fatigue phase but it's the news I'm getting, so.

The couple thousand that was in my TIAA retirement fund from the six-month stint in Engineering landed in my bank during the wee hours of this morning so that's nice. Looks like I'll definitely be cashing out that life insurance policy in a few months, too.

I absolutely must find ways (multiple ways) to pull myself up/together. I know I need more contact with human beings but I'm at a loss of where to find it safely. Perhaps it's time to resign myself to the fact that safety is impossible for someone in my position and start operating under that reality.

I'm not going to turn off comments but I don't know that I'll be up to responding to them.
