My manager told me it would be unacceptable to speak with my teammates about how I’m doing and not to discuss my leave with any colleagues, so I thought I’d share here for some support and to also encourage those who need it.
If you are suffering from your mental health condition or face trouble finding purpose or joy in life anymore, there may be options for you to take some time away from work and take care of yourself. I implore you all to take care of yourselves, look into your state laws, and put yourselves before your companies the same way they’ll put themselves before you 🙂
