I have been struggling a lot these days. I came off of medication roughly 3 years ago and now the things are as bad as they were before I got back on them. It feels like all the work has been flushed down the toilet and I am back to square one.
However, what has been hell is work. My trauma gets triggered when I try to concentrate and I am dreading opening my laptop. I am talking to a psychiatrist to restart medication but in the meanwhile, should I tell my boss that I am struggling mentally? I don’t know what the end goal of this disclosure would be. Am I asking him to let me be a slacker at work or am I informing him that I might have to take a long-ish medical leave and this is a heads up?
