My coworker's reaction when I mentioned taking a mental health day was infuriating
I finally mustered the courage to tell my team I needed a day off for my mental health. Instead of support, I got a sarcastic remark about 'needing a break from what, exactly?' Now I'm second-guessing whether I should even bother being honest about my struggles. It feels like we're still stuck in the dark ages when it comes to understanding psychological well-being. This kind of attitude makes it so much harder to prioritize self-care without feeling guilty.

That "second-guessing whether I should even bother" feeling is so real. I started just saying "I'm not feeling well and need a day," which is still true but shuts down the rude commentary.
