I have been working hard for the last 15 years--pushing myself to the limit, always willing to work weekends or whatever it takes to get the job done. I was just *finally* diagnosed and pushed for an answer because my mental capacity has gone to the dogs. I have a very demanding job and I can barely function any more. I cannot get my thoughts together, stare at the walls, cannot get things done, cannot come up with the right words. Am not sure if this is a flare or the new normal.
Either way, I am afraid of losing my job. My direct manager thinks I should take advantage of our company's STD program and take a few months off. I am worried that this won't get any better in that time. I am panicking about the thought of losing my home and having my credit ruined.
Any advice on how to know when you should take a break? I feel so guilty for even thinking I should!
