Apology accepted. 😉

That is precisely why I am refusing to go back to work. So that I can start taking care of myself. Of course, that all depends on whether I qualify for disability or not. Which is kind of why I am pushing for an ADD diagnosis. Major Depressive Disorder is a recognized disability as well, but the ADD would be the icing on the cake, so to speak. Plus, I really do want to try a medication for ADD again and see if it makes a difference. I have never been on one long enough to really know, and never at a time when I am also receiving treatment/support for my depression.

And you are absolutely right about getting even a small accommodation in writing. It is always best to protect yourself. I learned that one the hard way.
