I have been employed all my life except for the great recession..about 30 yrs total.  But I have had treatment resistance depression since I was 24. I l always felt I was hanging on by the fingertips. I never married. I never got a house like everyone else I know, and always had short term relationships. There is a high anxiety gene in one of my parents and siblings

My attention and cognition skills seem to be worsening...we have tried every med short of antipsychotics labeled as treatment for depression. A series of events outside of work occurred in which I lost attention and I incurred significant expenses to do repairs.

My doctor says he will sign off on disability (short term for starters) if I see an  "an end point". 

Now I found out that are looking for replacement  at work--I have seen the job spec.

What are your thoughts about taking company short term disability...its not FMLA so they can let me go....  The big concern is how to get employed again...
