I’m seriously running on fumes and need a day off to reset, but I feel so guilty calling out when I’m not physically sick. I'm not sure what to say, though. Should I tell the truth or just say I'm under the weather? I don't want to overexplain, but I feel weird just saying I can't come in.

Never feel bad to call in if you need a reset. Your mental health matters. Tell them you need a mental health day and not coming in and leave it as that.

Heck, no I’ve learned you should never feel bad for calling out. You also need a little bit of time away and mental health break.
