Hi everyone, I'm at my wit's end and hoping someone here has been in a similar situation or has some advice. I'm desperately trying to get approved for short-term disability through Kaiser, but it's been an uphill battle. I'm struggling with a health condition that makes it incredibly difficult to go to work every day. I dread going into the office. It's affecting my performance and causing a lot of stress for me. I am literally emotionless as I go through the day. I know I'm not doing my best work and it's starting to impact everyone around me. I've tried talking to Kaiser, but I feel like I'm getting nowhere. Has anyone else dealt with Kaiser's short-term disability process? Any tips on how to get through this or what my options might be if I can't get approved? I'm feeling so hopeless and alone right now. I just want to get better and be able to contribute again, but I feel stuck. Any other options out there where I can get someone to fill those forms in for me. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated. #burnout #depression #mentalhealth
Did you ask your doctor (not sure what talking to Kaiser here is), are they not willing to support you? My doctor was very supportive for me FMLA and was actually recommending more time than I was requesting.
