God forbid I tried getting help for severe mental health issues. I had trouble working, even simple easy jobs. I couldn’t make decisions. Now I’m likely getting fired. Just struggling bad right now. I get it but it just sucks. I should have just stayed working even though I couldn’t really.
So I have been on LTD for about a year. I have been out for major depression, anxiety and adhd. It was really bad when I was working and could barely function. For the past year I have had intensive therapy. Weekly.
The job I had was somewhat client facing, my mental health made it hard for me to perform my duties. Now I’m on 4 different medications, where before I was on nothing.
I want to go back to work soon. I was told I can apply to positions and I had an interview in something that is client facing but in a different organization and a different role entirely.
Can I resign from my current role and take this new one if it is in fact offered to me? I understand that my benefits will end but I don’t care. My disability benefits have a return to work program and I have already started to talk to my doctor about going back to work. What are the legal ramifications?
I have an appointment with my doctor soon, if they ok it can I make this switch?
