New It may mean that I have to quit my current job
to get a time that I can see my doctor to get to talk to him about it. I have no comp time or UPTO (unpaid time off) until I am there for 90 days. It hasn't been 30 days yet. According to MO Unemployment I can quit a job due to unsuitable work. DeSitter told me that getting payed a very low salary can qualify as unsuitable work, and I quit before 28 days are up on the job from the hire date. Anyone know the full law?

One of my coworkers at work told me that if the depression was bad enough, I may qualify for disability, but I am not sure how much that pays and if my other medical problems are bad enough to qualify. I am near 275 pounds now, I gained some more weight after starting this job. If I reach 300, I guess that is the Homer Simpson clause? I am trying to lose weight, but it keeps on coming back.

New It may mean that should put...
your real priorities in order. I had to before things started to work. Make sure you take care of you first. If you don, taint knowwunelse gunna.

Any job employer can make time for these kinds of things, there isn't one I know of that won't. Sure they grumble about it, but for them it is far better to have an employee healthy(both physically and mentally) and better able to work well.

I DO know this: if you don't take care of it, it WILL eat you up and spit you out, without batting an eye, with IT being depression.

Make sure you convey your problems to your supervisor, if that does not make a difference, go higher, and higher till it does. Sure I have been there, matter of fact recently with myself I had to go through these kinds of things (Dec 21st was a day off without pay or suspension as some amy call it), so I am still dealing with things.

Cannot stress that you need to get your NEW employer in the loop as far as what is going on. Please, please, stop making things worse by quitting or by doing nothing. UPTO as you call it, is guaranteed by the FMLA. Even if you have only been there a VERY short time. Claim it if you have to but do SOMETHING!
