thanks... i guess... it is more about my going and asking for help and getting a reception that goes a little like this:
'what do you expect us to do?' or
'your kind of situation isn't really what the services here are intended for' or
'so what is it that is stopping you working then' (fill in this little questionairre and lets look at number one)i don't know. i just don't think they will want to have anything to do with me.
>If you feel you can't handle the added stress of working, can you ask for a medical leave of absence so you can pursue therapy?if i get a medical leave of absence (i think this is an option for up to one year) then my understanding is that that is unpaid leave. hence... i'd have to leave the country. and go back to my home country. my home country where i go back on welfare and where therapy still isn't an option.
i'm sorry.
thanks for posting.
