Y'all, I forgot to turn on my alarm this morning and almost slept through going to work, but I woke up in time to call and say I would be late. Apparently the sleep helped some, though, because I made it through the day. I cried a bit during lunch, but I still count this as a win. I also spoke to my supervisor and gave her the broad strokes of what's going on. She suggested that I get a doctor to sign off on FMLA in case I need more days than my sick days. She also got on the HR guy's ass about getting me my benefits so I have insurance. I AM SUPPORTED AT WORK! It feels awesome. I have hope that I didn't have yesterday. Still having my breakdown, but I have hope and I'm proud of myself for making it through the day.

Thank you to everyone in this community that gave me support the other day. Your kind words helped me so much. Hugs to all of you that want them.

A nice boss is a great stress buster that is hard to come by. You’re very lucky in that aspect.
