I wish i could make things easier for you. I remember how hard working was. Management were unreasonable about attendance at my work too. At the end, when i was calling in sick every second Friday i had 52 days of sick leave banked and they were still on my case about it! It just got so hard to string together five consecutive eight-hour days. My job may have only taken 40 hours a week but it took 100% of my time because when i wasn't working i was convalescing and doing preparations to go back to work. Between the job and a husband i had no life. I was a numb robot. When my beloved cat died i didn't even go to claim her ashes because it would have just been one more thing on an endless to-do list for propping me up to go to work.

It would be so much better if work was shared around more equally, if the choice wasn't 40 hours a week or disability and no hours a week. Hard to live on part-time wages. Also i worked 25 years ago before there was any real awareness of psychiatric disability and no word at all about accomodations.

Here in Ontario there is the possibility of working to "top-up" public disability benefits so it's not so darn hard to live on them. I get private disability benefits so i don't know a whole lot about it.

I certainly admire you for your determination to work. Just hate to see you suffer.
