I've been well for a long while, over a year. Recently crashed down, down, down. It's so very dark here. I'm taking a leave of absence, have no idea how long I'll be out. How do others handle work while their having an episode? I tried to power through, but the issues of organization, concentration, and the crying all the time really made it impossible. I'm so afraid of what the future holds...what if I don't make it back this time? Or, what if it takes a long time to get back? I'm worried about getting well, and on top of that, I'm worried about not contributing to the financial well-being of my family. How do the rest of you handle the gritty details of life when your not well?
