@Derp I have been through this process before. This company, however, does not have an actual, dedicated HR person. There are so many forms and things lacking that they should have, it's a little ...well, the only word that keeps coming to mind is gross.

Someone in my exact same position also has applied to work from home - though her reasoning is that she's moving across the country. Mine is that the job place is not ADA compliant (if you're in a wheelchair, get fucked. I can't imagine the stairs there on crutches, either.), and there's a lot of ways I sit, things I do, drugs I can take, that I can handle at home, but not at work. (Heating pad, different lumbar pillows, low level pain killers). I do not need to be present in the office, as a core part of my job. I answer the phone, and take information/give info. They have about 2 dozen people in my same job description, that work from home.

I wish I could control my brain. Just now and then, even. So I don't have 8 million thoughts screaming through my brain, freaking me out when I'm in a dark space. That I could sleep. Just... frustrated, right now. Clearly the 'anxiety' meds isn't doing what she expected. Fuck this shit.

@Ghost I love that. And "Shakin' " is a good one - that I liked as a kid... and didn't realize what it meant. He has a lot of good ones.

@Auspice I have a hard time slowing my brain down to one thing at a time. As for getting out of bed in the morning.. I look at Logan, and remind myself he depends on me to feed him and take care of him.

@Auspice And, you know, he gives me all the love when I'm down. One can not discount the love of pets.

The needles are very small, and I inject through my leggings, so no one sees anything.

@Tyche uh... good for you? My medications have been being juggled around so much lately I spike and crash with no understandable rhyme or reason. My desk is across the building from the ladies' room and break room. Not something I want to risk if I'm feeling shaky/dizzy like a crash.
So you can feel superior or whatever that no one ever sees you test or inject. I'm just going to fucking deal with my issues when I have to. There's a REASON the law includes Diabetics and is in place.

I also didn't promise HR shit. I told them I'd try, but if I feel way off, I'm not hiking across the building.

@Rinel you can do subcutaneous. Promise. You may bruise occasionally, but youcan do it!

@Wretched I remembered reading about it and it being attached to ADD

My anxiety is out of control lately (to the point I'm shaking like I'm sugar crashing, which isn't helpful), and the ADD is out of control. Good thing I see the doc on Monday.

@Rinel The doc insisted I try the anxiety meds first. I'm done with that shit. I'm tired of doctors treating me differently because I'm a woman.

@Rinel I see one currently, but she doesn't do the meds. I go to her associate across the hall. Don't worry, tomorrow the booted foot goes down.

@Ghost I have a friend who, when I'm super low, buys me dinner because he knows I won't cook. Or will get me some random little goofy thing. But asking for concert tickets? PLANE tickets? WTF?!?

My boss just told me to work through my sugar crash. Yeah.

So I just got fired for having sugar crashes at work. This will be fun.

@Lisse24
It's illegal to do this. I'm on the phone now with my endocrinologist office. They may have some ideas

@Auspice Fuck that. I get impatient when it launches shit at startup.

@surreality I'm sorry. It's never easy to lose a furbaby, even when you do it to ease their suffering.

I just found out a long time friend, once bestie, just lost her fiance. No when/why/how. I don't know if there was an accident, if she got hurt or anything. I am so not good at this. It's okay to just message her and ask if she's okay and make sure she knows she can call me if she needs to, right? I don't have to ask anything else or anything, right? (yes. Anxiety is a bitch)
