Today, my psychologist told me that I was starting to have the first symptoms of burnout (only due to my toxic manager, everything else is fine). She told me that I should consider making a complaint to HR and going on sick leave if I wanted to.

This is my first job and I don't know what I should do to get my complaint taken into consideration (especially given the status of my manager).

How should I proceed? What should I include? (I am in Europa)

tl;dr : I am having a burnout because of my toxic manager, my psychologist tells me to complain to HR. How do I do this? What should I include?
