Thanks for the info on medical leave. I'm hoping that I never have to use it. When I get severely depressed, I thankfully don't stay there long. 1-2 days at the most. Problem is that I get depressed every 1-3 days or so, lately anyway. I don't feel the need to take an extended leave of absence right now, but good info in case it ever comes up.
As far as not telling your boss what's up, I don't think I really had a choice in the matter. I needed something I could blame for my strange behavior, otherwise, I would have definately lost my job. Now that he knows, things are better. I'd still get a good reference from him - he would never tell another employer about my condition. Like I might have said before, we are still friends.
Many people that work here know of my condition, mainly my friends. I don't tell everyone, just people I'm close to. It's worked out pretty good. Same issue, I need something concrete to explain my behavior. Otherwise, people wouldn't cut me any slack at all.. they would just assume I'm just a jerk or something.
But that's me. I'm open about it. I know many people are not.
Back to work.. bleah.
