I know I don't post a lot, but I always considered Calgarypuck one of the best and most helpful online community. I have seen great advice given to many people of the years and was hoping you guys would have some for me.

My life is falling apart! My wife recently lost her job a few months ago and has been in a major depression since, medication and counseling have not helped. The depression has been ongoing to varying degrees for the past 8 years, and I am out of ideas to help her, and I am pretty sure my marriage is falling apart(11 years).

In August, I was informed that my program was getting cut and I was going to be out of a job in October. I have been looking for jobs and am confident that I will be able to find work, but it has just been one more stress I didn't need.

I don't think I can handle much more, and now I am considering stress leave, unfortunately my employer does not have any benefits, so I don't know what my options are? Does anyone have any experience getting stress leave through WCB?
