我没有被pip,但是过去一两年来mental health不太好,有工作的原因,也有个人生活的原因。
我的therapist诊断了我是depression,最近他帮我填写了FMLA的表格。我准备修整一段时间。我同时也打算找到新的工作,因为我觉得I just feel there is no way I can go back to work with the same group of people and do the same type of work again, I can't change how they perceive me, can't get over how they've treated me and most importantly, I don't believe they would treat me any different, or worse, I fear they would treat me worse because I've taken the sick leave (I have seen a former teammate who took a sick leave but the day she came back, she was dragged into meetings, and assigned tons of works as if the manager thought she owed the team that much work.... Where is empathy? Where is that? I don't want to blame them, maybe that's just the human nature, in the setting of not having a great workplace culture). I think a new environment to start over again is better than going back.
我想分享下这个过程,我也不知道发在这个板块合不合适,但是我想可能有一些同学处在devlist/pip的边缘,可能这个经验会对你们有所帮助。
我大概是从去年上半年开始,一开始大概一两周就会来一个eposode,工作上的压力,“莫名其妙”的焦虑,父母年迈带来的负罪感,恐惧与逃避,情绪会莫名翻转,对很多事情都失去了兴趣,有时候会莫名其妙的痛哭,有时候回一条短信都是一种巨大的负担。到后面,情况渐渐变差,有时候两三天就会经历一次。去年八月的时候,我burn out了,I don't want to get into the details of what triggered the burnout。 But I thought a vacation was what I needed, and a vacation would reset me. 所以我request了vacation,well。。。manager告诉我,因为组里有个人可能会travel internationally,所以我不能请假,因为要cover他,我说可以,那我就等他把日子确定下,我在schedule我的vacation。过了两个星期,我问manager,那那个人确定好什么时候会travel吗,manager说他也不知道,然给我跟那个人商量。。。。anyway。。。。in the end, I told people I feel burntout, and need sometime off, they acted as if they are doing me a huge favor to approve it。。。。anyhow。。。言归正传。vacation让情况有所好转。我想通了一些东西,知道自己的priority了。回来我尝试着set自己的boundary。大概我的情况稳定了一两个月。然后,the mental struggle变本加利的回来了 - I didn't get better。我有幸跟关系好的朋友谈到了自己的状态,他们建议我connect with a therapist, and consider taking FMLA to prioritize 自己的health。
我当时的顾虑是,therapist会是一个什么样的态度呢?他会告诉你“你这很正常,不用take leave” 还是会站在你的一方,去帮助你。事实证明,一个好的therapist会是后者。

我的therapist并不畏惧给病人填写FMLA的表格,但是他的态度也很明确,他需要至少3-5个session来diagnose,然后才能帮我完成表格。

你需要上网大概学习下集中mental condition的症状,看看你符合哪种,这样你能在和你therapist聊的时候,用上较为专业的术语,有利于他们diagnose。
另外一点是,并不是所有therapist都有资历批准FMLA,有很多psychotherapist, clinical social worker, licensed social worker之类的并不能,我咨询过公司的HR,title得是physician,nurse practioner(under the supervision of a physician),(clinical) psychologist,等可以(有MD,phd学位,可以提供medical diagnose)。具体需要根据你们公司的规定,因为涉及到short term diability的insurance问题(当然可能unpaid的是另外一种要求)。我用的是公司提供的mental health benefit,可以让他们connect with a psychologist who can sign FMLA papers (instead of a psychotherapist)。
我的therapist先给了我几周假,然后会在快结束的时候按需要extend。
如果觉得自己struggle,将来可能需要请medical leave,最好是尽早跟therapist联系,这样能establish一些sessions,然后自己需要leave的时候,therapist会比较容易的答应。
