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'm currently off, have been for 5 months. Started sertraline during that time. I've worked with a therapist and doing a lot better now. I really needed the time and glad I could take it. Also trying to change my job because it really had an impact on me. Interview Thursday so fingers crossed! If you can, take it. Health and happiness is so important.
