I have been where you are. I did end up breaking down (Feb 2015) and I am still feeling the physical effects of it. I endedup taking about a month off for short-term disability. I don'tknow how that works in your country but here in America it is fairly easy. You will need to be in therapy while you are on disability. Just as if you were physically injured you have to be seeing a doctor and taking steps to try to get better. So long as you do that you can determine how long you need to be off. Your work doesn't have to know why you are out. They will just know that a doctor has said you are sick and can't come in. Please try and do this see if it helps. I waited too long and now my body shakes like I'm some kind of drug addict wanting a fix.
