Fired up BetterHelp and it honestly helped. When I started my new job, I was having terrible anxiety attacks and negative thoughts. Talking to someone has helped immensely in giving me an outlet and strategies for coping.

find peers that don't work at your company and confide in them a little. Just getting these things out clearly and hearing a friends perspective can elevate the situation greatly.

My wife took 2 months of leave of absence for mental health reasons. She was in-house though. Agencies may not be so understanding.
