I was going to write some long-winded post about the events which lead me to this point, but I frankly don't have the energy.
Over the past several months my mental health has been markedly deteriorating. This past week it has reached a point where I can not function. My boss has noticed there is something wrong and I have been having a few crying jags, shutdowns, and a pervasive sense of anxiety an ennui.
This week I lost all control. I was supposed to go to work but instead found myself twitching an flailing for hour until I exhausted myself. In a way it felt liberating and cathartic, but it was also apparent that I was in no condition for work. If anyone had seen me they would probably think I needed to be restrained. I called in sick and my boss told me to stay home for the rest of the week and to focus on getting better.
Now I am somewhat concerned about my future. When I do get better will I still have a job? Do I even want to keep my job. What else would I do? Perhaps these are questions best answered when I am in a better frame of mind, but it can't hurt to get a head start.
Does anybody have any advice, or have they experienced similar crises?
