Every time I call out of work I break down crying. It breaks my heart that 1, I cannot SAFELY do my job (as a home health nurse) due to fatigue and mental fog, 2, I cannot be reliable for families who depend on me, 3, I'm losing out of the rewards of caring for others, which is in and of itself...

I was diagnosed 3 - 3 1/2 years ago and work a highly stressful job. So far i've been on 3 short term disability leaves. The last one was due to the stress building up to the point where I ended up in the hospital with Pancreatius. I have to call out of work so much that i'm surprised I still...
