Anyone take a year off due to mental health? Afraid to do it but believe it’s what I need.

I thought about. In my case, I realized work caused mental health challenges, but it also gave me a much needed area of life to succeed in. So, make sure you have something meaningful to invest into. It could even be a little volunteering. A year is a long time. :)

Do it.

I took three months of short term disability. Insurance was a pain in the ass about it, but once my doctors signed off they had to approve it. I kept my full salary and benefits and nobody asked any questions. Sometimes I really hate my company but I am very thankful that I had that option. If you’ve been FT for over a year somewhere (in the US) you likely have this option. I highly, HIGHLY recommend looking into it. Worst case scenario you decide after three months you need more time and quit. I hope you feel better.

Do it. Better on your own too than something like a leave which usually requires a doctor’s note. Take it off!

Recommend you get some support too. Deal with the effects of the stress and give you tools to help you make sure it doesn’t happen again.
