Thank you SO much for this. I noticed you are in Canada. The laws may be different here in the U.S. regarding disclosure and EAP.


I don't know if we have EAP. But I did mention to HR that i have anxiety and depression and then eventually admitted that it has been exacerbated by work.


I do have a regular therapist I see every two weeks. I see her Tuesday. I will also ask her for guidance as well.


That is unfortunate about your own job. I do understand acting in the heat of the moment though, completely. I have done the same at various points.


In fact, I feel or worry that they now think I was just threatening to leave in the heat of the moment.


I worry that I did not get my points across well to HR and to the CEO because I was emotional and high strung: that it's a high burnout role because of the way it's structured, that I don't think we are doing our clients any favors with our ridiculously LONG reports that take a FULL WEEK to write, and that these reports are overkill and are taking away valuable time from developing strategies to help our clients succeed more.


The issue I have with EAP: I have used it once before, and in the U.S., they limit you to 10-12 sessions -- at least in my experience. I have a therapist already I can work with, but it wouldn't hurt to at least look into EAP as a possible option -- thank you!
