Re: Mental Health Days
I'm actually sick too often to take mental health days. In HS and college I took them WAY too often anyway

Re: Mental Health Days
I think everyone need them once in awhile. I sometimes take them - maybe twice a year or so.

Re: Mental Health Days
I don't like calling in sick or anything - but I would say once a year I take off just to take off!

Re: Mental Health Days
As much as I would love to take one, it's more of a PITA to be out (leaving sub plans and such) and I also want to save up as many days for when I have a child sometime in the next few years.

Re: Mental Health Days
I agree- I think everyone needs one once in a while. I have yet to take one in this new job (but I have at others). I am trying to save up my time for  but I sure could use one.

Re: Mental Health Days
If I'm sick its usually because I'm mentally run down to the point that I become sick, so my sick days are kinda both a physical and mental recoup day.

I used to take 1 or 2 a year. I think everyone needs them. I am home with my baby all day and I LOVE him to pieces, but, even though I am home, I still feel at times I need that "Me" time.
And Jennie...You deserve it!

Re: Mental Health Days
Since I only get 5 sick days a year and I can not carry them over, I usually use 2 mental health days in the spring & summer. I save the other 3 for the fall in case I really do get sick. If not a take a few mental health days in the late fall.

Re: Mental Health Days
I take 1-2 a year. In my line of work, they're necessary. I really need one now, but I am trying to bank all the time I can get.

Re: Mental Health Days
I usually take 1 or 2, but like others have said im trying to save my days for future  & 's. But now talking about taking a day makes me really want to take one! Now that I'm coaching varsity track, I really can't do that

Re: Mental Health Days
When work was too stressful, I took a few mental health days last year. So far, thank gosh this year, I haven't had to take any. Luckily I get a good amount of vacation, so I haven't had to take too many mental health days.

Re: Mental Health Days
I usually dont take any. I just go in my boss' office, scream, cry, complain, vent and then he gives me a hug and we call it a day. Then I feel better and tomorrow is a new day.
But I think I may take my birthday off
