I'm really glad to hear your employer is being so supportive, Noa. It helps so much.

She suggested it would be ok for me to cut back my hours a bit, and come in late every morning. I brought up the idea of a leave of absence and she said if I needed that it would be ok, too, although she was concerned about how I would spend the time, whether it would make things worse if I were inactive. She was genuinely very caring and kind about it. I might take her up on cutting back on my hours, even though it would mean less money. But maybe it would help to not have to wrench myself out of bed so early. I might investigate a light box, too, which my pdoc said "couldn't hurt".
