I am starting to hate my job. I have been through a lot lately following my divorce and my fight for the custody of my kids. I can't face clients right now and I don't have the energy to speak to anyone. I want to take a break from work but we are currenty working on a big project and I can't be away for a long time. And now it is affecting me mentally.

I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with all of this. Maybe you could seek some help and support from a professional and/or your family and friends, talk to your employer, practice self-care, and set boundaries.

Hey. So sorry to hear about this. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Breathe.

Aww. You are not alone in this. It's a little tough but we can get through this. Hang in there.

Hugs! I don't know what to do either. But can you take even just a day on your PTO?

Put yourself first, OP. It's not illegal or wrong. You cannot perform efficiently if you're not in the right state.

I am so sorry about that. Try to take a break first. Do not push yourself too much.

Do not pressure yourself. You have a valid reason to take a break. Please, prioritize your well-being first.
