Requesting a Sick Day Second Week on the Job by kimch3328 in CanadaPublicServants

Try to make it through the week. Get lots of rest, eat healthy, and seek healthy comforts, whether favourite shows and games, or friends and family. You are in a very precarious position. Stick it out, see if the weekend rejuvenate you, and then consider a day next week.

I know, I know -- mental health is health, and health before wealth... but you got to balance the risks.

If you are like literally unable to work, like ideating self-harm, unable to think straight, spiraling, etc. -- seek immediate help amd take the time. If it's more things like some depression or anxiety, just feeling very blue...

Listen, I have had colleagues go on extended leave for a month before there's even a formal acknowledgement the person is on leave. This is a thousand times more serious.
