Yes and no. I just began a period of what I guess you could call voluntary unemployment, due to years of neglecting my mental health. I've had all the symptoms, but have been more than a little embarrassed at even thinking of myself as being depressed, let alone taking medical leave or time off for what I've never been sure is even a real thing - not depression in general, but myself in particular. Am I depressed, or just lazy? Is it not an insult to think of myself as sick, when there are people out there with life threatening illnesses who somehow carry on? Etc.
Long story short, I've always compensated by just working harder - working late, staying up late, basically the workplace equivalent of constantly cramming. I hit a wall recently, and decided to take time off to sort out my life - which in my case means actually seeing a professional regularly and beginning treatment with antidepressants / SSRIs.
I'm not sure where it will lead, but the absence of stressors is for the moment quite nice. I've been able to cut out a number of bad habits, notably self medicating with (insert substance here). I don't want to get too candid, but you get the idea. I still haven't built myself back up to a place where I have a real and driving motivation to get back to work, and I still struggle with what might be considered pathetic 21st century spoiled aspirations of self actualization, but I'm hoping that in this downtime I can work my way back to finding the motivation and meaning in life that I've been missing.
