In the past I have suffered from depresssion, anxiety and panic attacks. I had a nervous breakdown and overdossed once on prescription medicines. I applied for Social Security Disability but returned to work before my case was heard. Approximately 3 years ago I was awarded Social Security Disability for the period of time that I was out of work.
I am currently on leave from my job because I began to have panic attacks again. I was in a managerial position and had an (problem) employee who threatened me in writing.
Perhaps I should also let you know that working in general, dealing with people causes me considerable stress. I am on medication and have been for several years.
I was told by my union represetative to apply for Short Term Disability but I think that I should apply for Workmen's Compensation because the condition (which was under control) was caused by the stress of my job.
Thank you for any information that you can give me.
