i had to take a medical leave for the next week. i will probably have to quit after that.. the leave was just a way of buying time, maybe holding onto job as long as possible. i need a job to pay for T. i have just enough self employment income to pay for rent and food, but can't cover T. For long and private reasons i can't be sure my H will help.
i am scared. My T is my only serious support and my life is in a bad state. i am very afraid. |

I'm so sorry you are feeling very afraid.
It is so hard to balance it all, sometimes... with all the inter-connectedness messing things up. I hope you find a way to get what you need and what you want.. therapy, necessities... |

I am so sorry that you are having to go through all the emotions that go with becoming unemployed. I hope you can work out some way to continue with your T. Please take care.

I'm so sorry gerber. I wish I could say something comforting. I was laid off recently and am wondering how I'm going to pay for T also (I have no other income). And I'm terribly depressed and need him more than ever. So know that you're not alone even if I can't offer you any words of wisdom. Just my empathy....
Take care. You will survive and things will be better some day. Sidony |

empathy goes a long way... i mean, really.. what else can we do here?
i am torn over what to do this week. Do i just suck it up with the physical pain and go back? or quit? i am seeing that the lack of structure isn't so great for me, and losing that icon of independence is very depressing... but my medical issues are not minor. i have hypermobility syndrome and it has destabilized my spine basically. Joint issues are always a problem, but they generally come and go... the back issue has gotten worse and worse. i have a vertebrae slipped out over the top of another, thankfully to a minor degree so far. So... the cost of keeping the job is actually pretty high. The cost of losing the job is no small change mentally either. No one can tell me what to do as no one can offer me a solution to the problems which arise in either case... i am so depressed. i don't see T until Tuesday this week.  i am dying to talk to him about this... he'll be in his element to be dealing with something so concrete. He prefers it to more vague stuff... dang CBT infuence.

Wow that sounds hard.
How risky is it to go back to work? I mean, would you cause yourself further physical injury? Not that "just pain" is at all trivial (I don't mean to imply that). Are there any modifications you can make at work to lessen the risk? I find it so hard to be unemployed. In my case I would probably try to hold on until I could get another job lined up because I've sunk into such a depression as a result of my unemployment. I don't wish that on anyone else. But my job was holding up a huge part of my self-esteem. If you have more in your life to rely on, you might make different choices. Tuesday will come soon. I see my T on Tuesdays too so know what you mean about the wait... Take care, Sidony |

Gerber -
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. It sounds like your physical limitations may be enough that you could collect disability? Although I know it takes time to go through that process. My ex roommate actually waited until she was fired from her job and then went on unemployement. The lady at the federal office told her she could collect unemployment even though she was applying for federal disability (for her bi polar disease). So she was able to at least exhaust unemployment while she waited for disability to come. I'll be thinking of you - Tranq
