Do it... it's important. Take a couple of sick days and get yourself feeling better, grounded, and more balanced. You'll be a better help to your team too if you take care of yourself.

I can't remember the last time I actually took a sick day. Generally if I get sick it's at the client site. And it's usually by Wednesday when it hits full on. And by then I fly home Thursday and do a light day on Friday.

Not something to be proud of. I just haven't been sick enough. Of course different people have different thresholds

I take a couple of mental health days every 2-3 months, usually Thursday, Friday and Monday. I fly in Monday evening when I do these

I never get sick except when my coworkers bring something from their cesspool progeny. In the last 5 years I've only gotten one week off. I have no backfill and my client calls even when I'm on vacation.

I take all sick days before using any vacation usually

Hospitalized twice this year- took 6 sick days. Never took any years before.

I always get the flu or cold at least once a year so most years I take 2-3 days

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I'm cutting back to my usual dose of D3 because I think the higher COVID dose is disrupting my sleep, but how else do you recommend shut down your mind when your ADHD mind won't turn off work.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
