What to do? My company dropped support for therapy, I pay $4k a month in rent and feel I probably just won’t wake up some days. I wouldn’t mind taking a break, but the nonstop posts about not being able to get a job don’t help. Have never felt more trapped.
- chrnola 2y agoSame. I would rather put up with being burnt out than subject myself to interviewing. Ridiculous.
- haswell 2y agoThat’s the burnout talking. Took me a number of months on sabbatical before I realized that the idea of interviews no longer made me want to crawl into a hole.
- haswell 2y agoWhen you say your company dropped support, do you mean they were providing it directly and now aren’t, or it’s no longer part of your health insurance? I’ve worked at places that did both. Check your health plan. Most decent ones have mental health coverage. Don’t let coverage stop you from getting help. From experience, there comes a point when staying just won’t be an option. Your body will make the decision for you. I started a sabbatical right before all of the layoffs started. It was a little spooky at first but it was also the best decision I’ve ever made. Also worth looking into taking medical leave. Easier if you’ve been speaking with a therapist and/or doctor who can help justify the leave. I almost did this but didn’t want any pressure to return.
