I have completed the "work history" forms, and will mail that tomorrow. I'm partway through a first draft of the more complicated and emotionally strenuous one that asks what I can do, what I can't do anymore, and so on. They overlap, because this one asks about how my condition affects my ability to work.

First draft because while there are a few straightforward questions (who do you live with? do you drive?) there are a lot more like "do you prepare meals? how frequently? how long does it take" and "what do you do all day?"

Today's mail had a letter telling me that they'd sent the previous large envelopes, and asking me to call and let them know whether I want to add any medical providers (yes) and when am I going to return the forms? I left a message, asking the "disability examiner" to call me back. I hope to be able to tell her something like "I'm going to send this one back today, and hope to send the other tomorrow. My new psychiatrist is $name, at the same number as you had for my previous psychiatrist, and she has access to the previous doctor's charts."

Also, I had to cross out and re-write some things on the "work history" form because I'd put the numbers on the wrong lines. This despite doing a first draft on my computer, because that's not something I first-drafted. On the other hand, one of the things I'm telling them is that I make more mistakes than I used to...
