I am a full time teacher and have an online tutoring platform. I am looking for math teachers for the platform as we are currently at capacity. This is a way to supplement your income doing what you are best at. We do all the leg work, you just show up and shine your light. If interested, email me at aimee.buckley@study.help
Bass, guitar, engineer, etc

Please take a leave of absence. I was there and it was the best decision - it saved my life. It’s short-term disability and you can take up to 3 months at full pay. Just need to connect with onemedical or Lyra health so they can evaluate you first and can fill out your paperwork (unless a primary care physician you already work with is willing to do it). Sedgwick is pretty fast and as soon as you file it, you can go on your leave and have some time before the paperwork is due back to them from the doctor/therapist. If you need help sorting through that reach out to the stay & thrive team for a 1 x consult (they accept all googlers for consults): go/Stayandthrive-support
Hope this helps:
“It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love,
for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive…”

If you have the means to take a break I always out for your mental health. It’s good to see how you will do as an entrepreneur by testing the market after work. You could start an instagram page or a Shopify page and test it out for a year before making a decision.
Going through the same. Recently laid off. Have the pressure to look for a job due to visa but feeling so overwhelmed
I came very close to doing this. At this point I feel burnt out but probably not though to do STD. Planning a religious pilgrimage for a nice reset.
This is a great idea
Have you talked with a therapist or career coach ? Sounds like you need to create a plan.
A therapist could help you explore options and sequence things…. to make sure you have a clear understanding of your goals. I am suggesting this because you mentioned being burned out. And maybe you are struggling with depression ?? When everything is blah…. seems the same.. that is a symptom of my depression getting worse.
The coach would help less with being burned out…. but can also help you explore options and create a plan.
Can you take some time off and have a “do nothing” vacation … connect to nature or enjoy an old hobby.
You can use a mix of sick leave and short term disability or just short term disability, my manager just did this. I’m at Google too
Oh my friend!! I am going through the same thing. Decided to try my own thing
It could definitely be good for you to take some break to give yourself time to first get over that burnout (this could be the core problem) and enjoy some time with friends and family. This will give you the time to decide whats best for you and you’ll also be taking that decision mindfully when you are at your best.
