Have you ever taken a LOA to check in to a mental health facility? What was the experience of going on leave and coming back?
I think I need inpatient treatment, but I’m so scared of negative work impacts that I’ve put it off and tried to push through with just therapy. It’s not working.

Health before anything else. Trust me. This job will replace you in two seconds, so never deprioritise your own well-being for it. I took long sick leave for mental health and it was 100% worth it. No work impacts, but would not have cared had there been any.

I agree 100% - I have the same story; it was the best decision.

Oh no, Op. Don’t neglect this. You can always get another job but you have only one life.

The thing is you can decide when you check in, but you cannot decide when you are let out. If you are not in crisis then I would suggest you just get a psychiatrist and therapist and go daily on outpatient.

It is not a good experience to go, and I’m telling you from experience. They waste a lot of your time and money, and you aren’t going to get from it what you’re thinking.

You can still do these things outpatients by coordinating with a hospital outpatient program. There’s not a need to live there with people who may just traumatise you with how much worse they are. When I was in the first time I saw a little boy who had experienced racism so bad, he literally hallucinated that he was on fire and ran through a glass wall, and it shattered. I was so scared. I saw someone slash himself up with razors and all.

I mean. Shield your mind and get the care with an intensive outpatient program. That is also a controlled environment. It’s a step above just seeing a provider, but it is a step below inpatient. And now we’re in the middle of covid. Who knows who is carrying what? I think just think through all these considerations properly once and the course of action will self-select.
