Positive vibes needed

Posted by Wildflower on September 20, 2004, at 9:56:09

I'm taking the advice of my T and I've decided to tell my boss (today) that I'm having "health issues". I won't give him details but I do want him to know that the illness is making work a little more difficult for me. I also want him to know that I will need some time off to go to doc appointments. That way, he won't think I'm out interviewing for another job and using a doctors appt. as an excuse.

For those of you who don't know, my depression has been getting progressivly worse. I've been really struggling getting to work on time and I've been so distracted over the past few months that my work performance has been noticably slipping. My T has requested that I go on a medical leave of absence from work but I've been fighting that request. If I took a leave, I'd have to tell my family and friends what's been going on with me lately. No one knows of my secret struggle. They aren't the supportive type so telling them would not help me in any way.
