Ok so I finally went to the PDOC. Probably no body remembers but I was on here after I had this outrageous outbreak at work one week, the next I was so manic I was all over the place, and then this weekend again I was outrageous screaming throwing things hitting my husband... Totally freaking out. PDOC wants me to put off getting prego if I'm not already and he has put me on 2 new meds and doubled my dosage of the stuff I"m on. So 400mg Lamictal, 50 moving to 200mg of Seroquel, and then 25 moving to 50mg of Zoloft... OUCH! UGH! ARGH! I know I want to be fixed even if it means meds but that just seems like so much and I don't want to do it. I don't want to take that many meds at all... Please help me!
To add to that since I almost got fired with my last outburst he mentioned taking FMLA leave for 12 weeks which means getting 60% of 8.95 an hour. Which is ridiculous amounts of money... NOT! or taking 1 day a week FMLA for dr's appointments and stuff... What do y'all think...?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
in regards to fmla... i'd do the one day a week - unless your husband brings in a substancial amount, you can't really survive on 60% of 8.95, in my opinion.
Sorry about your FMLA issues, I hope you can work something out. I don't know what you do, but I think trying to deal with this and go to work 4 days a week could prove to be way too hard.
Maybe you should try a local resource for free legal advice maybe? Good luck.
