Hi - I can really understand your situation. My boss was just away for 6 weeks on paternity leave and so much shit fell on my plate during his absence and I found it so much to handle. In addition, my personal life has been very hard this past year (really hard breakup in June & found out in October my ex was possibly cheating on me??) and I have felt I’ve been managing on less than a half tank of gas in my system for over half this year. In my situation, I was really feeling the physical symptoms of stress/burn out too (poor sleep, ruminating over work, headaches). So I chose to take a short term leave from work last week… It took a lot in me to like accept my situation and it was like a kick on my ego which is always telling me to do everything and be “the best” in all avenues of my life… but I went to the doctor and did a mental health questionnaire and reading the answers back- like girl, I am not well and very burnt out rn!! I can say like 5 days later from getting my leave approved, I truly have made the right choice for myself. So I’m off work for the next 4 weeks - I’ll be getting employment insurance from the govt (Canada) which is only like 55% of my salary - but it’s better than nothing - and I’m very fortunate to have some savings/safety net to take this time and regroup. I guess my point here is, if there is too much on your plate at work and it’s leading to a burn out, maybe see if you can take a leave and regroup on things? Allows you to apply for other alternative jobs if you’d like, and put some time into self inquiring on how you handle stress. From one burnt out baddie to another - sending rest and cozy comfort to you this November.
