I've recently told my boss I've been struggling and need extra help. I told him I was hiding it to avoid negatively impacting my career. He told me it was not a problem and suggested I take a week off work to refresh myself. I was shocked. My company is super helpful and is helping me with resources. I was shocked... I am shocked.

Have you told your work?

I agree; I couldn't believe it. He also said he understood why I was cautious to bring it up. He ensured me I'd have full support. It really made my day and helped release a huge backlog of stress.
