I have anxiety and I’m currently struggling with my mental health and I want to take a break from work but I’m afraid of getting fired if I call out. I’ve already used all my sick days for the month. I tried getting FMLA but don’t qualify because I haven’t worked there long enough. I just don’t know what to do. Any advice?

Please do. Your health comes first and things can go down fast. Even at worst case scenario, you can find another job but not another health or life

I may try telehealth counseling.

If you're struggling with your mental health you need to prioritize that. Seek out some professional help and let your manager at work know what's happening. You'll be better off in the long run if you face the problem and deal with it.

Thank you. I am going to do that.

I’m so sorry! Personally for me, I’d keep on sticking it out since my mental health got wayyyy worse when I got fired from a job. But prioritizing yourself is a good option too :)

That is a good point. Thank you!

FMLA doesn’t start until 12 months of employment. You need to think how close you are to that. You should also check for other programs that you might be able to use (sabbaticals etc.) although those don’t generally kick in until FMLA has kicked in

I may see what HR recommends.

I’ve been working for my State Farm agency as a team member for 2 years. I am licensed in property and casualty as well as life and health, but only make $13 an hour. I technically can make bonuses but I’m not supposed to dig into a sale and I have to send it to a sales rep (I am service and retention mostly). My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

Have you ever been racially discriminated against in a personal healthcare situation/not at work? While you were ill or in the hospital?
