I took a pretty sudden break from my work about two weeks ago. I was experiencing major burn out and depression. Overworked, underpaid, and burnt out.. and a coward when it comes to telling people.. I know my poor communication skills are my fault, but I felt like maybe I could come back to work if I was working only part time; I explained to my boss yesterday that I was burnt out and depressed and that I needed time to rest.
