Today is World Mental Health Day. Did anyone take a mental health day?

[exitseven]

I used to take a lot of them at my old job

[Anonymous]

No. But it was Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day, so I didn’t have work by coincidence. I just worked on other stuff.


I still have way too many stressed days. I think I’d be fired if I needed a mental health day. I’d be laughed at, for sure.


This was a rough day. A really wearing day. I’m having way too many of those, but as a guy, I’m not supposed to talk about this stuff much. So while I need a major overhaul of my life, nothing’s helping at the moment.

Cutesexybutt , must have taken the whole day off

[exitseven]

hahahahaha

[888theGreat]

She needs weeks

[exitseven]

ahh- she's alright.😊😊😊

[888theGreat]

oh no, she is a nut case. I just can't believe she graduated from college. I have my suspicions how.

[misfittoy]

yes, i work in healthcare and needed it. i haven't stopped since the start of COVID

[SecretsofKB]

Same here. COVID is the only reason I've made mental health days something I plan.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I'm mental every day of the year, so I'm covered 😂.

[exitseven]

it is often the people who say they are mental that are the most sane. 😊😊😊

[Aerissa_Jade]

When I was hourly I'd take mental health days all the time, especially if they denied PTO and I had to use it or lose it. Being exempt, eh... just means more work to catch up on later.

Ofc I'm on leave right now, so didn't need to.

[PetiteBabe64]

Never heard of mental health day so No.
what is it you do on a mental health day?

[exitseven]

a mental health day is when you call in sick from work and go off and do something cool because you are too stressed out.

[lightbulb27]

I did... but adjusting the valves on my car... setting that valve lash about drove me crazy!

[exitseven]

that's crazy.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm off today, and have a cold, so haven't done much so sorta🤷🏼‍♀️

[exitseven]

feel better, 😊😊😊

[Sparkie460]

I hope you feel better

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Sparkie460 @exitseven thanks🤗

[Rosexøxø]

yay…

Happy mental health ☝️🤕✌️🥲

lmao. Despite a somewhat- hmm… tiring day. I will rest and make it up to myself 😂

[Sparkie460]

I didn't plan on taking the day off but my job was canceled

[exitseven]

It's sounds like a sign from above.

[Sparkie460]

Now I'm only working 3 days this week because I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow

[exitseven]

hope you are okay.

[Sparkie460]

It's a follow up from having cancer burned out of me

[exitseven]

holy shit.😒😒😒

[Sparkie460]

The effects of working around ground zero, the landfill and the coroner's office just after 9/11

[AviatorTom]

I'm WFH and I did no work today... good for my (and other's ) mental health.

[YoHoeRose]

I think that's what I consider it, they consider me, fired

[melanieeeB]

We don't have mental health free days to take... at least not that I know of

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I came to know about this day with this question. I guess I will just take 1 day per week now. Seems cool too!

[Charliefretz329]

I didn’t know that was a thing but it’s a great excuse and I guess I did today

[Smashingdoozy]

I take mental health days sometimes.

[exitseven]

I could just imagine 😊😊😊😊

[Bethany22]

No it was Thanks giving Day today in Canada

[exitseven]

It was Columbus Day here.

[Dinklex3]

😅

I helped others with theirs if that counts.

[OddBeMe]

No i went to the post office, then stood in a return line at best buy, got followed by a psycho semi truck, wrongfully accused of murder, then went home to sleep.

[andreasderjuengere]

As you mention it - I will spend a minute of silence to mourn for the world population :)

[UnknownSwede]

I celebrated it with not sleeping, with my insomnia being part of my mental health issues, haha

[Dinosaursandanime65]

So is this like the opposite of Pride Month/a thing made specifically for those negatively associated with that cult?

[LimitedBenefits101]

I wonder who comes up with all these shi stuff?

Whats next? world angry day? world happy day? world cry day?

...

[NathanDavis]

I take them every day

[VanguardTitan]

It's pointless for me to even take one, doesn't help anymore.

[Ryfyle]

Fuck no, that pussy shit does not fly in my life.

[douride2]

I haven't taken one of those in years now.

[CaptainSmartass]

Nope.

Simples...

[Gooddaze]

Every day on gag is a mental day

[msc545]

I did!

[exitseven]

This is just begging for a snarky comment but I shall take the high road.

[msc545]

thanks. I owe you one.

[exitseven]

😊😊😊😊😊

[leighbee]

I didn't know about this but thank you ❤️

[AddylynnNightingale]
