When to leave? I'm getting subtle - and not so - messages that my boss could live without me - my job is being divided up and redistributed among coworkers as we speak - very painful - but I need the health insurance, the income, kid still in college, and am not sure what I would do if refused for Disability. Or how I would spend my time.

On the other hand, would I feel better if I weren't subject to this stress? And the exhaustion of being there 9 hours a day. Accomodations aren't going to be made. I have FMLA. but part-time work or long lunch to go home and nap - not in the picture.

Did anyone actually feel better after getting out of the work environment? Thanks so much for any ideas or insights. I think I'm kind of in the
"deer-in-the-headlight" stage of this illness (that is a recognized phase, right? ) and can't decide which way to go - not to mention, will my body cooperate?
