Career break?
Wondering if anyone on here has had similar experiences. I got a new job earlier this year but it is still kind of high pressure and stressful.
I noticed myself becoming even more fatigued and depressed than normal most days even though i get enough sleep. I dont really know how to help myself anymore...i seem to have tried everything from exercising more to taking supplements but it just doesnt seem to work.
My counselor is suggesting i take a career break and to be honest i feel its a pretty valid plan but as usual i guess i am just scared of taking the plunge.
Has gone on a mental health career break before and did it help?

Hi, I can understand your confusion, it is definitely a tricky decision.
To answer your question, I have not taken any mental health breaks myself.
I feel if possible you can take some short break & try to see if that works for you. That can help you in your decision making about career break.
Looking for alternative job option which is less stressful or looking to switch career into something you like more can also be some options you can consider.
Take care.
