3. having some medical issues..

I have been getting sick on and off and missing WAY to may days at work. It happens kind of cyclically with this last episode leaving me in the hospital for over a week. I have exhausted my sick/ personal days and my employer has now advised i go out on disability. Right now I am kind of just not SURE WHERE TO GO IN LIFE. The job is a front desk medical receptionist fro making 22k with great benes, I only pay about $500 per year. Now when I started this job. I had it in my head it would be temp anyway. I eventually plan to go back and finish my BS in Environmental Studies( 12 credits or so shy) Excuse my,rambling, i also am on so pretty strong meds)

6. I'm so sorry to hear that...Have you considered seeing a counselor?

To help you figure out where to go from here? I know how frustrating ongoing medical issues can be.

Have you looked into the ADA? I know that there are some rules regarding disability leave and employers.

I'm sorry you're dealing with so much. And 12 credits, that's about one semester. I hope you can get it done when you're feeling better. :hug:
