Hi Jerry,
I understand so much of what you are saying.I have been there and I eventually went on disabilty...I was tired of making excuses, letting people down, guilt and the sideways glances(real or imagined). I am very lucky to have coverage from work.I get 70% of my salary.You mentioned talking to a disabilty rep...does that mean you have coverage if you have to go off on sick leave? If so perhaps that would be an option for awhile.....?
One note of caution: I have found it difficult not working as there is a sense of being less of a person, and not having a reason to get up in the morning. I also am scared now to go back to work if I get better, since I have lost all confidence in my self. I was in public relations, gave presentations, speaches, training etc. and now I avoid most social contact!
