World Mental Health Day is this Saturday, and the workplace angle isn't a footnote to that conversation, it's a big part of it. Burnout doesn't clock out because you found a new job, and a new job doesn't fix it either if the pace never changes. If you're navigating a hard stretch right now, take the break, make the call, ask for the accommodation. Your work will still be there. Your wellbeing has to come first for any of it to hold up.
