In the same boat. My employer has been very understanding with my health issues, (chronic migraines). These have subsided but now I am struggling with my mental health and cannot afford to miss any more work. Meds make it hard to stay awake and even when I am feeling okay, I have a hard time thinking clearly enough to feel engaged in my work. More of a gripe with my health I suppose but still work related.
