take six months off, if you can. rearrange life, priorities things you like to do. Fuck the other stuff. Say no to people, say no to "must do" things. Stop coding, building whatever. Help your son, go traveling, read a fantasy book, whatever. And this is how you avoid burning out and improve your life quality. Some relatives of mine, in Europe, have taken sick days, up to six months from work stress. They were on verge of burning out. They still got income. Also, employee don't need to know, why are you sick. It is private matter between you and your doctor.
