I agree with Dee; having a therapist is very helpful. My Pmd and therapist are in different practices but the communication is as good as if they were in the same practice.

Keep coming to PC, keep posting and asking questions. The support here is great. Sometimes just knowing another person has or has had the same feelings as you is helpful.

As far as work-I've found from personal experience, even though your manager is caring and compassionate, you still need to be mindful of your time and attendance. Managers have a job to do also.
