Hello IP, I'm sorry you are struggling. It is a good sign though that you have sought help both here and especially with your doctor. In my experience, it is always a good move to let your boss and/or HR know what is going on... especially since you are wanting time off prescribed by your physician. They want to know, they need to know and likely you will be surprised by how much they might want to support you. Good luck! Let us know how it goes...
