I’ve been in a severe depressive episode for the past three days and have taken a day and a half off. I know i can’t work to my best ability like this but feel so guilty taking off because no one would understand. What’s the best way to communicate this with my manager? She seems super understanding and almost like a work mom, but i’m not sure the right way to say things without being unprofessional.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)
