Hi Suga,
I encourage you to do whatever is best for your wellbeing. You said it yourself. You need to make your health your first priority.

As you may recall from sharing with you some of my story I know first hand the devastating consequences of pushing yourself too hard. I am in my 50's now and I really wish I had attended to my symptoms when I was in my 20's. I know if I had I would still have my career. I would not be restricted to working part time from home wondering how I am going to pay the mortgage next month.

If you can take a stress leave, take it. Don't worry about the work. You are not indispensible. More importantly you are not indistructable. If you don't stop when you need to your body will stop you eventually.

You are already experiences physical problems. They will just get worse if you don't get to the root. If you don't take the time to treat your symptoms now it will be forced on you eventually and trust me it will be a whole lot harder to find level again or at least manage your symptoms well enough to function if you wait for that to happen.

I believe the chances of recovery or at least living a functioning life are reduced when we try to push ourselves through times in our life better spent in focused self care.

Your body is telling you what you need to do. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you still. Take the time now to get a handle on this condition. It will be the best spend time you ever invest.

Standing with you Suga no matter what you decide. I count you among my special friends on PC and really care about how you are doing day to day. I wish you only wellness honey.
