This is spot on but unfortunately many employees that are in high pressure jobs burn out before they will take time off for #mentalhealth. 👇🏼 After my Mom passed away I was given many opportunities to take time because my employer saw a walking mess. Because they were so supportive during her illness I felt I owed them to be in the office. It was a huge mistake as I was down to a size 0, had severe acute depression, anxiety and ptsd. My head wasn't in the game and I really didn't care. I was angry at the world. 👇🏼 I have a chapter in my upcoming book #notinvainapromisekept dedicated to my #selfsabotage. Don't be a hero, especially if you have a supportive employer. 👇🏼 #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #selfcare #stress #jobs #worklifebalance #depression #meds #ptsd #grief #wellbeing #health #workplacehealth #mentalhealthmatters
