My job actually made me crazy
 

Ok, so at least I can laugh about it...somewhat. As many of you on here know my mom was in the hospital the entire month of march, my bosses treated me with disrespect and violated my hippa rights.

When mom was in the hospital I started seeing a phycologist and counsuler. I had been diagnosed with depression, panic and anxiety attacks, ocd, and social anxiety when I was about17 or 18. I liked the drs who were seeing mom in the hospital and knew I needed help, as I have said many times moose has saved my life...it it wasn't for her and the fact i couldn't bear to leave her i would have driven off the bridge i cross to go to work.

I have been seeing the dr and conusler for almost a month now and I have been doing very bad, first meds dose got too low to do any good so they were haveing me take less so when I went in yesterday they could start me on something new. They increased the meds instead of changeing it and the dr said there is now way she can tell if the meds are working or not if I am at work so she has me taking 2 weeks of FMLA.

Told the hr director this morning and then had to tell my boss, my other boss was somewhere....waiting for a call into his office. The boss I did tell looks at the letter and goes is there a problem, I said yes, is it with you I said yes, and then he was about to ask me what it was and I looked at him and said that's all he needs to know.

The only problem is I am scared to come back after 2 weeks because I will just have a crazy bulls eye target along with just being hated by my bosses...for what I will never know.

I am sorry you are having to go through this bad time at work. Just relax and enjoy your 2 weeks off and hopefully it won't be as bad as you think when you return!
I hope the meds help you and you begin to improve!! I keep you in my thoughts and :hands: .

O it will be bad, the dr said she's pretty sure my leave will be longer then 2 weeks. I'm definitive I am not comming back to this job. Like I said had issues since 17 or 18 but the 2 1/2 years here has made it worse. I actually get panic attacks if I hear my boss's voices or see their name on my phone. Plus Moose is in training to be my phycological service dog, and I know that my bosses will refuse my right to have her with me and I don't need another battle on top of the one I am fighting now.

well i think i might be starting my leave fri. had a breakdown when i got home. my jerks of bosses are treating me like a phycotic(sp) person that can snap at any moment. They are not allowing me to go into the field with my officemate/friend nor do they want me near a state car. They are even walking by amy and mine's office and will walk as far away as they can from our office and then go back to normal after they pass. What are the scared they are going to catch my mental issues. IDIOTS :mad:

Please say prayers for me, at this point I don't see anything but moose the live for. She is my lifesaver. I know I will get better and it will take time and there are other people on yt that are having a worse time than me but I see them as strong and fighters.....at this point I don't see that in myself.

I will definitely pray for you. I am glad that you have Moose and remember you have a lot of friends here on YT also.

You are in my prayers. Please don't let a job ruin your health. I worled for a company for 33 years. Worked my way up to Director responsible for 100 people and then they moved all the calls to a cheaper location and placed with a new boss. She hated me for no reason, other than she was a B---ch and everyone was afraid of her and I treated people fairly and kindly and they liked me. I had to go on antidepressants just to get through the day. She finally got rid of me and it was the best thing that happened to me mentally. It hurt financially but you make do. I know my dogs have gotten me through so much so just enjoy the time with Moose.
You may want to consult a lawyer too but having worked closely with HR in my career they know all the tricks.
Remember you have us and now you can spend more time on YT.
Take care of yourself.

I hope these bosses get what they deserve and I know they will because; you reap what you sow. I hope you get well real soon and a terrific new job.

What JERKS!! I hope the rest and time away from them helps. I know it'll be hard, but don't spend your time thinking them. Try to break the cycle.

Feel better and enjoy the Springtime! HUGS

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
Hang in there, we are all here with you.
When the time is right, you will find a new job.
Enjoy this time with Moose! :) :) :)

i was in the same situation and they cannot fire u under fmla but you have to make sure when you go back to work you dont do anything wrong b/c they will be watching you. my friend now is on her 2nd fmla due to stress from work...she has been out for 6 weeks she knows when she goes back to work she is going to be terminated so she has been hustling and looking for a new job. i left my work due to stress, i was a claims adjuster and on paxil due to panic attacks. it is very horrible going thru panic attacks and my meds have helped me. i am still on them....unsure when i will get off
good luck to you. i u/s what you are going thru.
