Question: I have been ttc for 2.5 years with no success as of yet, Over the past few months I have graduatley been feeling not my self, on top of my fertility challenges, and the anxiety that beings me, My work has become very stressful. I seem to either want to sleep all day to just not have to think or feel the issues I am going through, and sometimes I just cant sleep as I cant get my mind to stop thinking, I no longer enjoy thing I used to, and am having a hard time caring for my family and I guess myself as I feel i have let myself go. I more than not feel sad and overwhemed, and cant sit still as I get so anxious. Sometime I feel like the stress and presure I have at work i feel like i am at loss of air at times.. i feel if I go to the doctor that the solution I will be given is anti depressents or drugs for anxiety, and I do not want to take drugs for this matter... Would just taking sometime off to myself help for this? And getting away from all the elements for a short period help? Or will this only be a temporary fix? How can I overcome the depression and anxiety with out drugs?

I discussed talking time off from work with my supervisor and he advised I need in order to take time off frim work I need have a family medical leave act form completed by a health professional doctor or psychologist. Is this something that you are able to complete?
