Stress leave

[lorinanderson]

I am trying to obtain leave for stress. Can anyone tell me if one of the EAP counselors can give me that or if it has to be through a doctor or psychiatrist?

I recommend going to a doctor, and tell them just how bad the stress is, and then ask them if they would fill out FMLA for it. Then ask for 2-3 days a month....If you think its necessary. FYI, do not give any fmla paperwork, or information to postal mgmt, not even postmaster....they cant ask you SQUAT about it either. Dont talk to anyone about either coworkers, clerks etc...contact home office District Nurse, if any questions. Feel free to private message me if you need details, will be glad to help. There's light at the end of this tunnel...and its not a TRAIN....Have hope, and hang in there. I will be praying for you

Can you message me? For some reason, I can't send you anything.

And maybe change your online user name for anonymity. To message, use envelope Symbol upper right, type in user's name and it will bring up A list of matches

Can you message me? Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it isn't working.
