I feel like whenever I take a mental health day it just isn’t enough. It’s temporary relief for a permanent issue. I feel afraid during the day that I’ll get an email the next day about attendance, I feel the scaries for the looming work day coming after. Once I’m back I feel as if I’m right where I started. The day felt as if I’m just running away from a problem that cannot be solved. I’m thinking about quitting and going back to school, but then I won’t have a steady income.
