I am so sorry you are having one of those days. It is not easy and am sending you wishes for better days.

I greatly appreciate the idea, it would be nice if there were no stigmatism. However at this point, there is no way I would tell an employer about my mental condition unless I absolutely have too b/c of the strong stigmatism and problems in the past that I have encountered. I like the guise of a sick day to be used for mental health too; these are sick days in my eyes, pdoc and T's too. I hate having to do it but at least having the days is better than none, as have had jobs that this is the case as well, no sick day benefits. I would like to be more forthcoming instead of hiding behind sick days but the ramifications are too great in my experience otherwise.
