Hello, so I have a dr appt tomorrow, and I am in quite a pickle should not have waited this long, but anyhow, let me try be brief as I can., tl:dr AT THE BOTTOM:-
Basically I have this job for about 3 and a half years, and I suffer from severeal mental ilness, anxiety, depression, etc. and it is SEFVERE. I have slef medicate most my life, but finally got some help a couple years ago, and was doing ok. Butr I had alcohol problem for years. well I kicked the alchohol for cocaine., But then I moved, and cannot find cocaine, and moved over to opiate, which I never liked. still do not like opiate,. but keep- me from drinking.
ANd for me, YES drinking is FAR worse than any drug out there. so I am better of wwith fentanyl than drinking. ANyhow, I was on suboxone for a few monthts, and did ok, but it was hard to deal with all my mental issues, and made me wanna drink. almost did. But whgat happened is the crappy pharmacy screwed up my suboxone script, and left me without for days,. so I was in bad withdrawls, and I had to get something to not be sick, so I can work. so I did, and noww my doctor abandon me, and no more suboxone, so I am on street drugs again.
But I want to go back to suboxone, but I CANNOT miss work for 2 weeks, due to needing to pay my rent. After that I can afford MAYBE a week off work. But my job will not let me take off work, unless FMLA paper is done.
So i have dr appt tommrow, I want to get intermittent FMLA so I can get back on suboxone, and then I can go to counseling, treatmants, etc. and try other medications, to help with all my other mental issues. But I am afraid I cannot do this, because I work full time, and medications might make me unable to work from time to time, briefly, due to side effects. If I take off work, for ANY ereason, and I am not on FMLA, I will lose my show rate, which must be 94% OR HIGHER, OR i WILL BE FIRED.
i WANT dR TO APPROVE ME FOR intermittent fmla SO i CAN TAKE OFF ABOUT 15-25 HOURS PER MONTH, WHEN NEEDED , FOR dR APPT. tHERAPY, OR iF I HAVE AN ANXIETY ATTACK,P AR A MANIC ATTTACK,P mANIA, ETC, FROM SIDE EFFECTS, OR JUST BECAUSE i AM CRAZY, SO TO SPEAK AND HAVE SEVEREAL MENTAL ISSUES,.
What can i say to the DR tommorow to get her most liekly to sign off on an intermittent FMLA for my job? I may need 1 hour one day….4 hours another day,. or possibly a whoile day here and there. But would not total morre than 30 hours a month. I work full time plus OT a lot.
plz any advi8ce thnaks!
