I'm taking a much needed mental health day off -- well, really only half the day off and last minute. I have been pushed to the brink with far too much work overload, and I hit a wall. I emailed my boss at 1 PM to tell him I was having "personal issues" and needed the rest of the day off. I am being worked waaaay too hard, and now I'm unravelling. It's starting to show. My stress is leaking out everywhere it seems, even in some of my comments to co-workers. I almost cannot help myself. So it's probably best for me to take this time for myself.
