Re: NASA mental health system

Going through a separation and divorce is an extremely stressful time in
anyone's life. Just the fact that someone is currently going through this
transition is a major warning sign, to watch out, this person is in danger
of ... There are plenty of articles about how nobody saw this coming to
Nowak, no warning signs. Oblivious to a huge warning sign, marital strife,
separation and divorce.

In your case it seems NASA found this extremely stressful time in your life
to be an opportunity, increasing the pressure to attain some other goal ...

Years ago at McDonnell Douglas, two employees (Chief and Indian) were having
an affair. The spouse of one found out and painted "so-and-so &!#$&
so-and-so" in the parking lot at McDonnell Douglas. Not wanting this left
in the parking lot for all to see (tall build). Someone got the bright idea
to remove the paint with some acid. It etched the shadow of the message
into the concrete. Later the affair turned into marriage.

People do strange things when relationships fall apart.

Recently I had another episode and asked for sick leave because of massive
panic attacks as I approached the NASA facility.  My supervisor granted my
leave.  Then NASA turned around and told me I was AWOL until I provided a
detailed medical document from my doctor and I had to provide a new copy
every week I needed leave.   NASA's sick leave policy does not require
this to get leave.  Going through this process to avoid AWOL stressed me
greatly and I told NASA this.  They continued to violate their own sick
leave policy for me to get leave.  I have also had to endure more insults
to my mental disability from NASA management.  They also told me if I
didn't sign a general release to my doctor, I would probably go on AWOL.
I told them no. They sprung an already filled out release form on my in
front of the Deputy Center director.  I of course signed it.  A human
resources representative apparently contacted my doctor on the pretence of
being a mental health profession and convinced him I was delusion.  I
think they did this because they knew I was attempting to work the issue
of work related stress as part of my problem.  This time when I complained
about the misconduct, rather than investigate the misconduct, they fired
me.
