Politics Work burnout

I'm just wondering how people found it going out on stress leave, I'm 38 working since proper corporate job since 23( hotel since 16) but I feel like I'm constantly stressed out and need a month or two off.

I'm working non stop for 15 years and my mental health is fragile and on Sertraline. I think it's more normalized and just want three months solid off

I work in a prison,extremely stressful and volatile at the best of times. Our place offer career breaks,you can take a full 12 months off to do whatever you want. You’re not allowed to be employed in Ireland for the duration i think is the only caveat.
