Howdy.. you said attempted.. were you able to recieve disability?
I walked out once almost the same exact way. I sent my boss and email that said:
"...Fine then. Put me on medical leave"He didn't care for that. I got better and I came back to work - I fluctuate rapidly.
The main difference is that my current boss, and my last "boss" for that matter, knows about my condition. My current boss was a friend before he became my boss. One of the main reasons I had a manager change is due to the major problems with the previous boss, and his lack of belief/understanding/etc of mental disorders. Not only did he cut me NO slack, he was on my case about various medical related problems, all the time. We basically hate each-other now. We won't even speak to each other in the same meeting. ;)
I HATE how so many people think we're weak, and say "jeez, just snap out of it". Uh oh, you got me going now... Man, if I could just give them my disorder for a couple of weeks. Ya, I know that's mean...
My current boss has been pretty forgiving with my sudden mood changes. He tolerates it pretty well, which I REALLY appreciate. I still think of going on leave from time to time.
Funny, here's my AOL IM name:
