Returning to leave from work

While the title says a lot, there is a fairly good story to go with this.

While it was VERY apparent that I wasn’t able to be at work for me. I wasn’t able to convince my current doctor that I needed to be written back out. There was no reason for him not to write the note, as it would have saved a lot of hassle for me. Since he didn’t write the note, I spent the following 4 months answering questions, phone calls, and such explaining what kind of condition I was in.

After the doctor wouldn’t write me back to work, I was given the speech that was along the lines of “Get with the program or move on”. This was given to me by one of the therapists and the primary doctor at the IOP program. Needless to say, this upset me, because I didn’t understand what they looked for me to do, as I was doing the best I could.

Once everything was ‘sorted’ out from the returning/leaving work, I spent the following months just surviving. I don’t want to get on a soap box and start complaining about all of the stuff I went through. Let’s just say, I hope no one ever goes through that.
