Hi, I work full-time in a high-pressure environment, and right now my body and mind are giving me signs indicating that I need a break. In my work, I have several procedures to follow, which are constantly being updated. I'm having a hard time keeping up... As my time is charged to clients, I fill in timesheets, and I'm constantly under pressure to have a minimum of non-billable time, which is exhausting! Moreover, I have to deal with short deadlines, often several simultaneously. This is made even heavier by the fact that the instructions I get aren't always clear and the people I work for don't seem to grasp the concept of "help me help you". All this leaves me mentally exhausted today, as I am demotivated, tired, have difficulty concentrating and am feeling like my life is pointless. I know I only need a 2-week or so break to recharge my batteries, but I don't have any vacations left and cannot afford a leave without pay. I'm afraid seeing a doctor would only get me a prescription for antidepressants, and should I get a prescription for time off, I wouldn't want words like "burn-out" or "depression" on it... Any advice? What's a girl gotta do to get well-needed rest without jeopardizing her job or reputation when she doesn't even appear sick on the outside???
