I don't know many people who feel personally shamed to talk about their struggles with diabetes or tuberculosis, just like you suggest. It's so very true. I hope this does help. Thanks!

I just got denied FMLA and terminated. I have lost my job directly due to mental illness three times. It's such BS. I hope that you start to turn around. I know it's just something that comes on its own when it wants to -- but I know it comes. It will improve. The truth is then it will probably suck again, but it will get better that time too. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393708147017569061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268442679430918072.post-69183545921063456462014-08-21T11:16:37.541-07:002014-08-21T11:16:37.541-07:00Thanks for sharing your experience.

With more people sharing their experiences this way, I think it would be easier for people to understand, but that takes a lot of courage. Thank you for showing how it's done and taking that step.

I have been where you've been. Thank y...Angela. I have been where you've been. Thank you for sharing this very personal account. I have been in a terribly dark place for days now... I couldn't get out of bed Monday or Tuesday, and only dragged myself to work yesterday, where I spent the entire day teary-eyed and miserable. I can't snap out of it, either. I spoke to a human resources person at work, and they're looking into some education for my boss in particular, who makes me feel guilty any time I miss work. I'm in constant terror of losing my job, and losing everything in the process. I'm terrified of losing each battle I go through -- that maybe this one will be the one that pushes me too hard; too far. I'm glad you failed, so that you could share this. You don't know me, but I'm thankful for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
