Real talk (MH - and +, work, stress) 

Know a lot of folks haven't been in the loop on this, but I'm basically taking this weekend to recover from a fairly serious breakdown where work stress finally got too much. *Thankfully*, I have a boss who cares about me as a person, and he basically told me "go rest, we'll hold the fort while you recover" plus a fair bit of "yeah, I don't know how you guys have done this this long /anyways/.

Real talk (MH - and +, work, stress) 

I guess what I'm saying is
a) I could really use some hugs.
b) I'm doing better than I was on Friday, but am still super pins-and-needles mental-health-wise.
c) If you've ever been a manager, or ever want to be, and you've done / will do the same for an employee in need who's done the best she can? /Thank you./
