IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME, ALOT OF CO. ARE DOING IT TO SAVE ON GAS AND BEING IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF HOME REALLY HELPS TO GET EVEN MORE WORK DONE. CHECK ON THAT HONEY, I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR SITUATION AND YOUR PAIN...BLESS YOU OUCH....LOVE YOU

Take a deep breath and hold on.If you need to go on disability file right away..It takes along time.God be with you!!!!!!!

Check out the possibility of working from home Ouch, like Helen has suggested. That sounds like a possible solution for you, good luck, find relief soon Poppet, hugs, Owlxx

First, I am giving you a big hug. Now try and take a deep breath. Is there someone you can call who will you sort this out? Do you have a therapist. If you don't, please consider getting one for additional support. Also, crisis hotlines are wonderful free help. They can talk it out and you don't have to give them your name even.
Regarding the job, if you are in tears all day long it is time to consider disability. I would call a meeting with your supervisor and HR. Find out exactly why they want you to go on disability. If you are performing your job and the crying doesn't affect anyone they can't force you.
You may also want to contact an employment lawyer.

I know that's a lot. Remember to breathe. Do one thing at a time and remember there are people who care about you.

I am sorry your situation is so lousy right now.You need to take time to see your dr re your diabetes. Its probavbbly crazy with all the stress you are under. I think maybe you should file for that disability as it takes awhile. Paul doesn't sound very supportive or understanding but you need to look after you!! Whatever it takes. We are here for you and we understand. Just hang in there and message us if you need too . You are in my prayers sweetie marilyn

Darlin' I don't see that you have any choice. If your work is pushing it, that is just adding more stress, which is only going to make you worse. with them pushing you that will help you get your disability. Depending on where you live, you may be able to get some state disability to help out, or maybe state assistance of some kind. Anyway, you can't file for disaility as long as you're working, so you need to just accept that you can't work any longer, and file for your benefits. And for whatever it's worth, my opinion is that anyone who is more concerned about your paycheck that your health is not someone who needs to be in your life. Believe me, I know how hard and how scarey it is to have to give up your job, but the sooner you can get out from under the stress the better for you. Spending the day crying because you are in too much pain to do your job is not healthy.hugs

hang in there I know the feeling am going through that now...but I am looking for a pt job. I don't think I can handle it but my husband is pushing it...he doesn't like the fact I'm at home doing nothing!! Anyways Clearblueskys has great advise I would follow it!

I also posted in your journal so I'm going to try not to duplicate.

Try to relax and tend to your immediate health needs first. Let work take care of itself. You give them a lot and you're a hard worker.

I agree with the others about maybe trying the "work from home" route, too.

It could also be that things are happening for a reason and a better job situation may be just around the corner. Are there any other companies within your field that are hiring?

Maybe some time off from this place could allow you to clear your mind and start looking for something else that would be more hospitable and appreciative of you.

Your DS family is here for you with lots of support and gentle hugs.

Can't work from home. "That's a precedent we don't want to set." I'd have to find something else to do from home.

That's another thing. One of my supervisors, apparently, is going through my work and nitpicking every little thing that I did wrong. I'm human. I make mistakes.

i am so sorry u r going through this.. u do need to see your dr dont put that off it involves your health.. i agree with everyone if working from home is an option go for it.. other wise dont wait get your disability filed...**hugs**

Ouch,

I'm with the others. I'd file for SSID now and go out on LTD. Yes, it is hard living on less but what if you lose the job or find you are in too much pain to stay on? I'd rather be safe then sorry. You can still work on SSID and see if it is an option down the road. I am so glad I applied early and it came just as my LTD was ending. Good Luck and I hope things get better at work, hugs, Keleee :)

My job did the same damn thing and I got the information for Allsup on here from the ladies so I started my SSID now because I can't do this anymore. The pain and the depression is just way to much anymore

I just wanted to let you know that I am about to file with SSI. It is not something I want to do as I am only "43" it is my last hope because my work is so physical (cashier) for 25 yrs. I know the pain and depression your going thur its not fun especially when people give you that look like your not sick,so take of yourself first because then the healing will start. HEY KELEE I READ YOUR NOTE...WHAT IS "LTD"?

Have you seen a pain specialist to see if you can be put on something for the pain? I mean, if your pain is under control, then you'd be able to continue working, and everything else would resolve. Or is that not a possibility? I haven't read your page in a while, and don't remember, but I do know that since I got a doc that is actually TREATING my pain, my level has gone from about 8-9 down to 1-2. I can function again, and deal with life again.

Maybe you just need something pretty strong?

Oh, LTD=Long Term Disability. If you pay for it through your work, then you get about 60% of your paycheck for a certain amount of time if you have to leave for health issues.
