What a great thread this is!
At my last Pdoc appointment, I had yet another med change ::sigh:: And she gave me the paperwork she had filled out for my employers. She wrote on it that I may never be able to return to work there. Then she looked me in the eye and said "You have to start to accept the possibility that you won't work again". I'm raging over that right now. Ummm no, can't accept that one! Just because I can't seem to find "stable", have never had a pdoc appointment in 2 years where there wasn't a med change, can't keep my house clean and my chores done, order dinner in at least twice a week, and can't concentrate well enough to read most days, DOES NOT mean I'll never be able to go back to work. I just need a little more time. Right??
It was like being told I'll never get better, or this is as good as it gets, which she said wasn't the case, just that she didn't think I'd be able to tolerate that level of stress anymore.
It's a bitter pill to swallow, and I'm not sure I can do it!
I suppose in time I'll either have to accept it or prove her wrong. I'm hoping for the latter.
