Several years ago I freaked out and walked off my job. Later I met a pdoc who said that was really sad. He said he could have saved my job by putting me on medical leave.

I don't know how things are where you live or work, but I thought I'd toss it out there.
I would love to take a couple of weeks off but I've done that every year I've been teaching. It would be awesome to make it a whole school year without taking a leave. At this point I'm not worried they'd fire me, Because it would probably be better if they did.

I'm not being effective in my job anyway. I might as well be on leave because at this point I'm just showing up. And barely functioning.

I will take it into consideration. I'll see what my pnurse says. Maybe she'll tell me to. I don't know.
