Hi all,
wondering if anyone here has experience on short term disability due to depression and anxiety via Morneau Shepell please?
because of issues with my psychiatrist and not knowing if she will sign off on my short term disability or not, I took matters into my own hands and filed 2 weeks of unpaid leave from work so that i can visit my friend in the USA (i am all alone here and new to the country which is part of the reason of my depression). They have a house in Douglas, MA and it is near a lake where i was hoping to spend my time.
now that my psychiatrist has guaranteed that she will sign any forms Shepell will send, i have started calling in sick to trigger my short term disability, my question now is, am i still able to visit my friend in the USA? Should i just tell Shepell not to pay me for those 2 weeks that I will be with my friend to avoid any issues? I need someone to lean on right now, desperately, and there is absolutely no one. My psychotherapist's schedule is rarely open that i cant get weekly appointments with her anyway. I see my psychiatrist every 2 weeks as well so will not interfere with that.
any advice?
