@Crazy Hitch:

Did something happen? Or is it just that you are still finding your job unbearable? Is going on disability benefits an option? I've been on them for 30 years. It's really helped me manage my bipolar a lot, as i have treatment-resistant bipolar, and must still cope with the mood-swings, tho meds help about 50%.

Living on disability benefits is not without it's drawbacks, tho. For example, i'm really bored, and i find my life purposeless. It wasn't even a question for me tho, i was so deteriorated, and barely functioning. I was so depressed i couldn't eat or sleep and was losing ten pounds a month and finding tying my shoes a challenge.

It's a personal matter tho, and i realize we must all make the best decision for ourselves on an individual basis. I hope you're feeling better for having your two days off that your GP wrote you and that you don't mind my raising the question of disability benefits.

Of course, i'm just speaking from my own lived experience, which is what we are directed to do in my ZOOM support group. This guideline makes a lot of sense to me.
