Hi, Thea, and welcome!

I'm also in a field where you have to report mental health diagnoses and treatment. It stinks. I finally hit a low point and decided it was worth reporting and dealing with any results so I could get the help I needed. Are there immediate consequences at your job if you report it? Is it more the hassle or the possibility of people finding out that bothers you?

I can totally understand not wanting to go through your story again. That's such a pain. Do you feel like you can really manage things yourself if you spend enough time on it, or do you just feel like you "should" be able to? This is a good place to get support when you're having a hard time doing it on your own.

Good luck trying to change your work and living situations. Take care and keep us posted!
