Need feedback on anyone’s who’s requested STD for PPA/PPD through Lincoln Financial!

I'm a FTM & 11 weeks pp. I've been seeing a psychiatrist for 7 weeks now due to PPA. I'm still struggling greatly and don't think I can return to work. I'm on Zoloft and actually just restarted therapy yesterday.

I've spoken with my Lincoln financial caseworker regarding my wanting to request STD due to a medical issue but I didn't go into detail. I'm on bonding leave right now following maternity leave, so once this is up in 3 weeks, my case manager will provide me with paperwork my provider will need to complete. Said doctors notes will essentially dictate whether or not my leave is approved/extended.

I guess my question is have you done this via Lincoln Financial and what did you need to do/say to your provider to have them willing to help? I'm overthinking everything and just extremely anxious about this whole process.
