Can't wait til I get a boss who is roughly my age range and is a liberal SJW so I can say I need mental health days to stay home from work

Mental health days are a good thing. Labour conditions already work against the average worker, and most people are overworked and burned out.
don't look ahead, there's stormy weather

Why is taking time off so you don't burn yourself out by overworking a bad thing? I swear you guys will complain about anything..."back in my day WE WORKED UNTIL WE PASSED OUT 7 days a week LIKE MEN"...No TC, you didn't...

true, who cares about mental health. everyone should be a miserable cog

I definitely took a mental health day last holiday season. I was barely getting any sleep, working overtime, and was sick more days than not between sept-dec. That 3 day weekend was amazing.

TC must work retail where paid time off is just a dream lol
I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD.

When you've been working on the same project for the last 5 months and made very little progress at some point you just need a break.
|

I dunno. I don't really have an issue with it as a thing, but I know a chick that has to take a "mental health day" every two weeks and all she does is work part time at retail.
Makes it seem like a joke with her. |

I need a mental health day today :(

I have no problem with taking a personal day, but at least I have the stones to admit that I just want to sleep in and f*** around all day. It's silly to claim that one's psyche is so fragile that working a full-time job like an adult is so taxing and frying on the brain that I need to retreat to my safe space. The phrase "mental health day" conjures the image of someone genuinely focused on trying to fix their brain because a true job is too hard - someone sitting around and meditating all day, doing yoga/tai chi, etc. when it's nothing more than an excuse to be lazy, which, again, I have no problem doing it or with people who do it, but I can at least admit that I'm not actually "fixing" myself by taking a day off.

You're making a mental health day sound like something it is not. A mental health day is just that, a day to give your brain a break. It's just another way of saying you're sleeping in and messing around all day. But it's for a purpose. It's so you don't overwork yourself today. They just have a term for it now. It legitimizes the need to relax as an intentional part of having a work/life balance and not just because someone is lazy. That fear of being called "lazy" is why so many people don't use their paid leave in America and why as a country we are overworked, overstressed, and get sick so much.
Congratulations! Your post was deemed response-worthy.

its funny because having to deal with this overly sensitive pc culture we have nowadays where everyone gets offended all the time makes 'mental health days' even more necessary.

I'm starting to think TC may not be the one with a "real" job. Maybe he just stands in a WalMart for 40 hours a week while smoking weed out back and maybe putting some s*** on shelves.

TC needs to get a job where people actually earn sick leave and PTO. Mental health days are just vacations. So long as you have the hours you can take as many mental health days as you need. Ditto on sick days so long as you don't stay out sick for more than a couple days. Then a doctor's note is required. Oh and bear in mind sick days are primarily there to make sure you get to keep your job after a week of being laid out with the flu, so don't reckless.

The expression just sounds like a veiled attempt at providing a legitimate reason for taking a day off. I'm not denying that relaxation isn't a good enough reason to take a day, but just admit that you're taking the day off to be lazy. There's nothing wrong with that (assuming you have PTO/sick days remaining). Calling it a mental health day is just a flimsy defense because it sounds better than saying "I want a day off to do nothing" to your boss. Ignoramuses posted... Blah blah blah I disagree with TC so I'm going straight to insults and calling him an unemployed manchild instead of actually bothering to provide legitimate disagreements I do work 9-5 at a pretty monotonous job. As I've said, I don't mind taking a day off to f*** around. But I have the stones to say that that's what I'm doing.

He wrongly associated the word with liberals and safe spaces and got triggered. lmao

Otherwise just flinging around insults does nothing but show that you have nothing of value to say. eston posted... So basically TC is whining because people use a term he doesn't get I clearly get the term, otherwise my topic would've been something like "What's a mental health day?" TheBiggerWiggle posted... So basically this topic is TC is b****ing about a phrase he neither understands or knows where it comes from. As mentioned, I do understand it. As for "where it comes from," well, nobody can definitively say they know where it comes from, so that's a moot point. Hard to imagine that the SJW community hasn't co-opted this expression since they're the ones who need safe spaces, a.k.a their own houses, because they are feeling too much anxiety and depression to work a normal 9-5 job.

TC, most of your posts center around complaining over Sjws and what you think they think about something. Maybe you *do* need mental health days. To get your mental health evaluated. And I don't mean that as an insult: you seem far more easily triggered than most whiny liberals I've met, and maybe there's a neurological reason for it.

Your topic is based around misinterpreting the term, so either you get it and are playing dumb, or you don't get it and actually are dumb

I do take mental health days, but I don't call them that. I email my boss and say hey I'm gonna take Friday off because I enjoy the occasional three-day weekend. What exactly do you feel the issue is? Asking a question? Should everyone be sent to therapy because they have questions? Why not arrest them instead? The thought police really need to get in gear, otherwise people will stop being complacent sheeple. eston posted...

I understand the issue and think it's unnecessary and a thinly-veiled attempt at trying to seem less lazy when taking days off work to relax.

I do take mental health days, but I don't call them that. Many people don't. The business calls them mental health days, but most people just do like you and say "I'm taking a day off to be with my kids" or "I'm using one of my mental health days to start that to do list I've been putting off." I email my boss and say hey I'm gonna take Friday off because I enjoy the occasional three-day weekend. What exactly do you feel the issue is? Asking a question? Should everyone be sent to therapy because they have questions? Why not arrest them instead? The thought police really need to get in gear, otherwise people will stop being complacent sheeple. There it is again. You have this really weird trait where you take something and run with it to extremes. It's like you're an overly dramatic teen. I really think you should talk to somebody.

The amount of stress the average high school student has is the same amount that would get someone diagnosed as insane and sent to the loony bin in the 1950s.

It's healthy to not have mental health days and call them something like vacation or personal time. Gotta get a strong mind and strong minds need to push through feeling like crap sometimes. The crap turns into dust that turns into grit

I think they should do it for school goers. Of all the stress I get from work, I still say school was worse. Plus they load them down with homework every single day it seems like... give them a break or two. Sheesh.
Don't get me wrong, there's day where I've felt like a complete stress sundae with the anxiety cherry on top. I just suffer through it and hope somebody makes me laugh. I'm not saying that other people can do it like that, I don't even like doing it. I think if they were medically diagnosed and really needed the day to recuperate, fine. I think otherwise a lot of people would probably end up taking advantage of it.
just cause you don't see me here, doesn't mean I'm doing anything better

"I'm using one of my mental health days to start that to do list I've been putting off." That's not a mental health day. That's taking a day off to do some things around the house (or whatever). Saying you're taking a mental health day to do more work is just bass-ackwards. That_Happened posted... There it is again. You have this really weird trait where you take something and run with it to extremes. It's like you're an overly dramatic teen. I really think you should talk to somebody. So, I should see a therapist because I have quality brain processing capabilities? Sounds like a good thing to me. Explains how I was able to get through a top 5 private high school and 4 years of college with virtually no effort and maximum time dedicated to socialization and free time. I think you're the one who needs help; you sound like you see things that are good and try to destroy them because they're too good for your what people expect from you, and you know you'll never meet them. eston posted... There is no option C. You are clearly misinterpreting the term, and continuing to do so in this very post. If this confuses you, then I think that answers whether or not you're intentionally playing dumb. Okay, we're clearly going to keep talking in circles if you continue to insist that I don't understand the term. It's just going to turn into a "Yes I get it!" -- "No you don't!" -- "Yes I do!" -- No you don't!" Rather than just saying NO NO NO over and over, without any substance, why not provide an explanation as to what I seem to be missing? Oh, right, because it's easier to say no you're wrong over and over instead of actually constructing legitimate points and valuable discussion topics. Unsugarized_Foo posted... It's healthy to not have mental health days and call them something like vacation or personal time. Gotta get a strong mind and strong minds need to push through feeling like crap sometimes. The crap turns into dust that turns into grit This. "Mental health day" is designed to be a fallback, not a go-to (if that makes sense). Once you begin using it, it becomes easier and easier to use as a crutch, and thus you'll stop being taken seriously or given important projects because management doesn't want you flaking out on it. ProbablySkye posted... I think they should do it for school goers. Of all the stress I get from work, I still say school was worse. Plus they load them down with homework every single day it seems like... give them a break or two. Sheesh. This is an underrated point. Schools are the ones that are stealing childhoods and grinding kids into the ground with work. I even saw some article about how summer school should be more prominent. Like damn, let kids have a childhood. College and the real world will surely rob them of their innocence soon enough. It's one thing to miss turning in a worksheet on time because you were fried, but it's a totally different animal to miss work and mess up something for a company. ImAMarvel posted...

Um when you're an adult and have responsibilities around the home, getting those things done can definitely be beneficial to your mental health. It feels phenomenal to do work that I enjoy (handywork, gardening, etc) rather than the job I get paid to do, and when those things are done it's a very calming feeling. Not everyone takes a mental health day to be a sloth and play video games all day. At this point I'm just going to assume you're a teenager.
