I basically had a nervous breakdown in May and had to quit my job as the controller of a very small nonprofit (too small for FMLA). After a couple months I got another job which I managed to hold onto for a few weeks before the depression, panic attacks, and suicidal ideation got to be too much to handle. Now I'm focusing on healing myself. It's been a long road, and I know I will never be able to go back to accounting again. The stress just isn't compatible with my illnesses.

That being said, I think if you can take a LONG break from work, long enough for therapy to start working, it's worth a shot. A small vacation or a few days off probably won't do the trick.
