Do you think it’s ok to take a sick day and it be a “mental health” day. No doctor and no physical sickness but you have the PTO and are just stressed to the max and need a day or two. It seems ok to me and no one has told me know but I don’t even feel I need to explain. But what if I’m asked what’s wrong or something?

It’s 100% okay to take a sick day for mental health. My boss (big corporate company) encourages us to take all the sick days we have, even if we just want to have a day with our family.

I don’t believe your employer will ask, but if they do, you can be honest about your need to recharge.

Never put work over life. Take it, enjoy it and reset!

You're under no obligation to volunteer an explanation. If someone asks, just say you didn't feel well. Depending on your company's culture, and the atmosphere with your coworkers, you may not feel comfortable saying you considered it a mental health day. Just manage the conversation as you see fit.

Mental health is health. If your health isn't where it should be, whether due to viruses or stress, take time off.

It is absolutely okay to take a sick day for your mental health. Mental health is not something that can be seen but it very much affects us and our health. I wish more companies offered mental health days so people didn't feel bad taking one when they needed it.

Absolutely take it and it’s no one business. Mental health is THE most important of all.

Most jobs give you crap for taking time off in general if it’s longer than 2 days straight.

I’ve been in a meeting where multiple candidates were voted out for a promotion for ‘using too much of their time to be a leader’. After that day, I told myself I’d never let anyone dictate my life for me for using what’s rightfully mine.

like

Most companies don't require a Dr. note unless it's been 3 days. I wouldn't worry a regroup day.

like

I would ask for a few days of sick leave. And if asked, I'd say I need to rest, so I don't over exert myself, and end up on the hospital, then come back ready for work.

I’ve had pain and discomfort lately and visited a gyno this week. When they examined me, they mentioned a endometrial (?) cyst on my ovary that I didn’t process fully, and prescribed low-hormone BC to manage the pain. After the visit, I did research and it appears this is a late-stage result of endometriosis, which I have never been diagnosed with (no previous gynos have ever mentioned it). Has anyone had one or have experience with endometriosis? I’m concerned about my fertility (still young).
