Thanks man
Absolutely the right thing for you. You have to take care of yourself.

I was trying to make light of this and bigging up the potential of 2 weeks off. In truth, I've hardly left my bed. I had no idea how drained I was.
Get some movies on, slob out on food, let the bed win. Sometimes a good old fashioned teenage recharge is needed.
Sometimes your body just tells you what it wants. Yours needs a rest. x
Once you`re feeling less knackered, dust off the bike and go out for a decent ride ( weather permitting )

Not always mate, you never know . For what it's worth, in my experience, a lot of bigger companies are able to have the mechanisms and investment in place to manage time off for these things, particularly more so nowadays.
It tends to be smaller businesses where it's much harder to manage the loss of key individuals for an extended period of time, as the business cannot cope without them and needs to replace in order to function, which ultimately creates a new problem upon return.
It sounds like you're doing absolutely the right thing, in any case. Good luck and keep sharing.

I've seen him interviewed so many times and no matter the topic he always seems fascinating to me.

Well I made it out of bed today, but only because the building manager was sweeping the leaves outside the window of our ground floor apartment and i didn't want him thinking I'm lazy.
So I hid in the bathroom for half an hour.
Should probably find something constructive to do now. I have a list of psychologists specialising in job related issues to call through but my stupid brain is telling me they're all too busy/important to help me or my dutch wont be good enough.

Sod the manager he'll just be jealous he has to work while you're in bed.
If there is help out there use it
An oldie but a goodie - a trouble shared is a trouble halved.
Look at it this way, if you don't call them they've nothing to do and its what they go to work for - win win.

I think rest and recuperation is always welcome and things can depend on the individual but doing nothing can in itself be draining and if you aren’t careful you can end up not being tired enough to get your sleep right so laying awake , losing routine and basically having zero energy .
I’m not suggesting you shouldn’t rest but reading your posts I suspect @COYBL25 might have hit the nail about a bit of exercise . Whether that starts with getting up At a set time , getting dressed and walking out for pint of milk or even a paper then moving on to cycling or other exercise . I’m not an expert but resting completely doesn’t work for everyone so consider doing a few things to keep yourself moving .

Not great. Been burying my head in the sand tbh. I’ve gotten drunk 2/3 times since I last posted here. Been off work the past two days unwell. Struggling to pick myself up but I do feel slightly more hopeful than I did that things will get better.
