I know some of the mistakes I made in applying for disability before: no lawyer, using old medical records & not expecting it would take multiple attempts. Trying to get disability again would mean talking to doctors & lawyers though.
I did open my shop too, but no inventory yet—that is my next goal. Baby steps. I created a business name I can use across multiple platforms. So we’ll see. None of this is going to happen quickly, but I’m moving in a direction.
