"Caring for the mind is as crucial and important as caring for the body. In fact, one cannot be healthy without the other" - Sid Garza-Hillman
If you're struggling emotionally, you can take a day off. If your anxiety is overwhelming, you can take a day off. If you are depressed, you can take a day off. If you feel your mental health declining, you can take a day off.
"But we're short staffed."
You can take a day off.
"But they're counting on me."
You can take a day off.
"But what will they think about me?"
You can take a day off.
Your workplace will be fine. If you don't take a day off when you need it, will you be fine?
