After being a bit downtrodden in the morning thinking the management was still blocking me from working with clients,  the manager on-site gave me the go ahead to step up to taking on the more challenging task.
 
My mood inflated but I also became keenly aware of just how much coffee I had drunk today.  When grumbling along on low, the coffee just kinda keeps me teetering along,  but faced with clients and expectations, the coffee makes me feel my heartbeat.
 
Short version.  I'm very happy that management is giving me a chance to step up to working with clients.  If only working with one to begin with.

JohnnyO,
 
Please do let us know how it goes. It seems as if you know what you need to do. I'm sure things will work out for the best.
Good luck!
Keep us posted,

on-going saga.
 
While on a one week vacation, feeling more relaxed, I made overtures to buy a condo.
 
When I got back to work after the vacation,  the combined anxiety of the financial committment and the job requirements was too much.  I ended up missing some more time at work.  Plus I backed out suddenly from the condo deal.
 
I have just come out of a meeting with my supervisors where they've outlined just how much time I've missed in the last few months. They are very concerned about my ability to service the clients and are looking for alternative job duties for me again.
 
I have a job coach assigned by the local Mental Health agency and I will meet with her tommorrow and she may talk with my supervisor today.  It sounds like we may need to suggest to the supervisors what types of job duties are going to be less likely to flip me into relapse.
 
The job coach is amazed at just how much accomodation the employer is willing to offer, but I'm sure their patience will grow thinner with each incident.  Now I just have to show that I can maintain attendance.  I did manage to make it to work everyday when I had the added incentive of consequences,  so I just need to make a goal to attend work everyday regardless of how I'm feeling.
 
We will be determining the altered duties in the coming days.  Stay tuned.
