For one reason or another, I need two weeks off work. What is the easiest thing to claim to a doctor so I could get a sick leave note for two weeks? I've heard depression is one of the best (claim a family member died, feeling angsty, don't feel I'll be able to cooperate at work, fearful I'll hurt someone if I get agitated, etc), but I want some other opinions. Perhaps even from a doctor if there's one here.
I'm too early into my job (a few months in), so I don't have enough sick days, but this is a very important matter to me. I doubt my employer would take it well if I suddenly needed time off, though.
no fucking idea, what do you need two weeks of for though?

If you're paying your doctor, just go to him/her and ask them for a note for two weeks so you can look into help for depression.
Don't do anything beyond that, as it could backfire and you'll be stuck trying to get medical releases and all that shit.

In fact, don't say depression, just say "anxiety issues."
"When I'm at work, it just feels like someone is constantly tossing ice water on my entire body."
Works like a charm.

It's a little complicated of an issue, something I thought the board wouldn't care about. Girlfriend has to go away for two weeks for work, she (ironically enough) has major anxiety/depression issues. I was just gonna come along so I was nearby if she needed help. Some people might think the reason is stupid, but it's important to me.

Thanks man, that's pretty sound advice. If need be, I can actually go to my brother's doctor. He has schizophrenia and depression, so they might be more understanding of me.
