Having to explain that I was having trouble functioning at work and would need to take fmla until i can function better. To add insult to injury when I finally worked up the courage she denied me and tried claiming I was not in an episode. Anyway my goal was to get a form of leave where i could work and if I needed to leave early I could. I ended up needing to enter an intensive outpatient program. It was suppose to be for five weeks. I was there for two months. I ended up missing two months of work. My next be fear was telling her off for not believing me. How the heck can you help people if you don't believe them.
