I would have anxieties just knowing that I was going to have to go to work. I'm just praying that this third time around having applied for SSI, and having been denied twice already, will be more hopeful.
One time I went into the hospital but continued my job for a few days--they let me out on day passes to go to work. It was getting to be too much, so I quit. I was too afraid or ashamed to tell my boss the reason I was quitting or that I was in the hospital and so just said I needed to quit for personal reasons.
She kept saying that if I didn't tell her what specifically those reasons were, she would give me a bad recommendation if another employer ever called her to ask about my job performance, even though she said, I had done a good job as an employee.
I just turned around and walked out of her office and never put that job on a resume. It was difficult finding another job after that, as it was one of my first jobs and I had such a patchy work history as it was.
