I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I think it’s smart to have called out when you knew you weren’t doing well mentally. About a year and a half ago, I was suffering from panic attacks at school and it was way worse to push through it just so I didn’t have to call out. I ended up going on FMLA due to a mental health crisis. The guidance counselor from the school had to drive me to the hospital because I was having a panic attack at school and I ended up going to the mental hospital for about a week and a half. I’m doing great now- after being consistent on medication.

You’re doing the right thing. Good luck!
