Taking Sick Days For Mental Health?

Have you ever done that? Do you agree with it?

Woman gets surprising email from boss after taking time off for mental health

Despite mental health being spoken about by the likes of Lady Gaga and the royal family, many of us still struggle to discuss the issue in the workplace.

Even more of us would never think of taking time off to focus on our mental health.

One woman took the plunge and did just that. Web developer and engineer Madalyn Parker sent an open email to her colleagues that read: ?I?m taking today and tomorrow to focus on my mental health. Hopefully I?ll be back next week refreshed and back to 100%.?

When she received a reply from the CEO of the company, Parker didn?t expect a positive one. So she was pleasantly surprised to read Ben Congleton?s supportive words.

?I just wanted to personally thank you for sending emails like this. Every time you do, I use it as a reminder of the importance of using sick days for mental health,? he wrote. ?I can?t believe this is not standard practice at all organisations.?

Quote by Tom Robbins: “You've heard of people calling in sick. You may...”

“You've heard of people calling in sick. You may have called in sick a few times yourself. But have you ever thought about calling in well?

It'd go like this: You'd get the boss on the line and say, "Listen, I've been sick ever since I started working here, but today I'm well and I won't be in anymore." Call in well.”

― Tom Robbins


I have practiced calling in Well at every job I had after reading Still Life. It is a very healthy practice

Statistically, 1 in 5 of us suffers from mental illness. Unfortunately, the stigma that follows sickness of the mind keeps discussions surrounding mental wellness to a minimum in the workplace. I’d like to tell you about my experience as a female engineer who openly shared details of my personal struggle with depression and anxiety with a founder of the company I work for. This spurred a company-wide presentation on ways that emotional and mental hurdles can affect work, different treatment options, and best practices for supporting coworkers. I want to talk about what Olark did to make me feel comfortable taking the leap of faith, what you can look for (and push for) at your workplace, and offer an example of success for those who struggle with mental obstacles.

I let my contractors sometimes call in gothic, which I guess is sort of that.
