I feel like an idiot!
I just got off of a surprise phone call with my DOR counselor. She was just confirming the date of our call next week, but when she was asking me question about my MS she immediately began talking about how I’d need a letter from my doctor allowing me to go back to work.
I explained to her that I’d taken a break from job searching at my previous counselors insistence, and when I explained that it was because my father died I sobbed. I’d surprised her, and I tried my best to explain to explain that I waited a year to begin again (not including the months it took for me to secure an appointment to begin with). She wasn’t sure if I was ready just based on my emotional reaction and I tried to explain without going into detail about my mom revealing her meth use to me, instead saying this was just a bad day.
We’re still going to have our call on Monday, so I’m going to have to prepare myself for it mentally and emotionally.

Hello IntegrityBlues;
It does seem as such folks are almost like script like. A B C type things. So yea I don’t blame you with the sobbing. There is a lot of emotion running around with your father, your mother, work break.
It seemed you wanted to be acknowledged, you’re not alone in that. I probably would have done the same.
Monday will be better for you, I have faith in you.
