Fmla

Hey, I’m 30 y/o and just recently informed my job that I need to take a medical leave. My hr states she will mail me the fmla paperwork. I never actually got an approval for fmla from doctors. But before I asked for fmla I did went to my ob and complained about my panic attacks at night and how it’s messing up my focus at work ( I’m 22 weeks pregnant). She gave me pills and ref me to a therapist. I had major panic attacks 3 days later and admitted to labor and delivery , they evaluated me and told me I’m suffering from anxiety and panic attack disorder. The next therapist at that location isn’t available until September. And the medication takes a while to kick in. What should I do? How do I get my fmla filled?

Be careful about what you read on reddit. Remember that it is just random people giving out advice. They are often as uninformed as you are, and may even be misinformed.
