@beauflow, I am sorry you have some of the same stress regarding your job. It is awful! And as for the memory issues, I can be there during various mood states and even during stress itself. I would certainly hope you wouldn't be penalized if you forgot the mask on occasion. Though I think it's extremely important to remember, many don't (or even refuse) and seem not to be penalized. Maybe the worst would be a warning? I'm not sure.

Sending you hugs to find some peace. Will you see your tdoc or pdoc soon?
