> I have 2 job interviews coming up. I am so afraid to go back to any job because of what I was put through on my former job (major harrassment due to a presumed disability on their part). 2 and 1/2yrs ago I was absent for 1 week because I was depressed. This was pre- HIPPA law so my return to work note said that I had been depressed. I resigned after I became so ill from the harrassment that I tried suicide. I really want to go on disability but p-doc says I have to try to work. Does anyone understand my point? Has this happened to any of you? If so, what did you do? terrics
i do understand your point of view. i know that i am not working to my full potential and that effects the work we do here. many days i just wish i could get on disability and not have the stress of bosses, deadlines, or frantic people needing immediate assisatance, or not being able to learn the new stuff.however, i also view my work as one stable point in my life. even though it's a major stressor it also gives me a reason to even attempt to go through the day. if that was taken away like yours i just don't know what i'd do.
you are SO strong for going through all that you have and still land on top. you may not feel that now but you are.
if i were you and you really want to try disability for a while just bypass your pdoc, find out from other sources what you need to do to apply for disability and maybe go to another doctor? like GP or something.
or you can apply for jobs, get one then 'realizing that you just can't do it' or happen to get fired due to your limitations, ask pdoc again to sign needed forms.
maybe try to talk with pdoc about temp disability, let him/her realize that you don't want it permanantly but maybe for 6months or year or so.long enough to focus on your medical needs?best wishes to you terrics.
