I pushed myself way too hard. And feel exhausted. I told my boss I couldn't handle more projects and she gave me two more anyway. I took time off 2 weeks ago and then I was back at work for one week and was instantly crying everyday at work again. This past Wednesday night I accidentally cut myself deeply when preparing dinner.

I'm not working right now because the cut is on my hand and I can't use a mouse or keyboard. Being off feels so good. I don't even care that I'm in pain from the cut because it's an excuse to not be at work.

I have an appointment with my psychiatrist on Thursday and I'm really tempted to tell him I need short-term disability, which I do qualify for. What would you do?
