So, happy surprise, I didn't have to go to work to file for my stress leave. My boss called me and I was able to do it all over the phone. I will have essentially a case worker call me by the end of the week and then I will have to go into meetings every week or so to discuss the barriers that are keeping me from being able to perform my job. That is where I think I'm going to feel really challenged. Physically there is nothing wrong with me. My arms and legs work, I'm in good physical health. I could technically continue to work with success for quite some time before my brain had a complete and total breakdown but I'm not willing to let it go to that point again. Yes, again. This has happened to me before and it resulted in week spent on the couch bawling, me quitting by job, leaving the city I was living in to move back home and cutting every friend that I had made out there out of my life. So yeah, I don't really want to go down that cheerful path again.
On a brighter and hopefully more productive note I started following some different blogs on blogger that I think are well done, well written and interesting to look at. I'm hoping that they will inspire me to make this blog better. I'd like to keep it up and eventually it's not going to be all about my messed up brain. Well that's the plan at least.
I feel like today is the first day of my recovery.
