Hey- sorry to hear you're having such a crappy time of it. Many of us have been or currently are going through this too. It's not a simple answer.
With me, I HAD to stop working over 2 years ago but I'm very lucky in that I have support so it's been ok.
>time to get into my system.
One of the most frustrating aspects, isnt it?>My work is seeing problems and they offered me some time off
Would it be short term disability?
Wow- that's so nuce that they are that understanding...
>document my problem for work.
!!!!!!!??? Why not? COuld it be that she's just speaking for him (for some ridiculous reason)? You can leave voicemail for him, right? I hope...
If he won't do this, (and I know that was not your question, but...) then he is not a responsible doc! What are your options?So my roundabout answer would be, i guess, that sometimes you can't work for a while. but it sounds like you're still trying to get the right mix of meds, yes?
I think someone posted not that long ago about feeling like everyone else on the board was doing a lot better than she was (i.e. holding down a job, etc.). I have felt that before too. But I wonder how many lurkers are out there...probably tons.
