I've been on medical leave from my job. I called my boss this morning and said I wouldn't be returning to my job. I went and cleaned out my locker without saying a word to anyone. I've been there almost 5 years. I have no other job lined up. My leave is up in 3 weeks, which means no more benefits, no insurance. I need to figure out what to do. I feel paralyzed to do anything. I feel like there's a ticking time bomb on my shoulder and I wish it would just go off and destroy me so that it would be over with. I have sat here at the computer today and I can not even apply for one single job. There are so many variables involved. It just makes me sick. I feel trapped. I know that no one here can solve it for me. I am unable to solve it for myself either. I will see T tomorrow and will try yet again to communicate what is going on. Despondent is how I feel.

Hello wanting to heal,
in my opinion maybe you need to take a time and calm down before decided what you want to do next, i know being jobless must be scary but take your time and think about it first before apply for another job, and talk to T probably might help ! send you a hugs as muchh as you need

I'm in a slightly similar position. I'm off work on medical leave for 4 weeks with no sick time so no income. Not sure I can safely return to that job, not sure if there's any job that will be right for me. It's a scary place to be. Take a little time to settle yourself down, then work on educating yourself on what other jobs may be available in your area. The job market is tough, but you may find something that's the right fit. Good luck.

Sometimes it is better to take a step back from the situation that we are in and go from there. can you apply for workers comp. can you get ssi or ssd? Can you apply for temporary assisstance of sum sort. what are you insterested in doing for work and what can you do?take a breath and start there. It may be easier GL
