Difficult!: I don't know if I have answered your question in a different form (check and see on my thread in the past few days), but no one knows how you feel. Get your doctor to fill out an fmla paper for you, so your absence is known to be legit and part of a health issue. You may have secondary depression, since you feel that way. Talk to your doc!
