to the tune of $1 trillion annually. Additionally, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission states that a mental illness that could potentially affect your job performance might legally entitle you “to a reasonable accommodation that could help you do your job.” Companies with 15 or more employees are covered under the American Disabilities Act. With all this, work culture attitudes toward mental health can vary greatly.
Has it been a particularly stressful work period? Is your stress triggered by unhappiness with your job? Or, are you having a more serious mental health episode that might necessitate more than one “play” day? My partner is a hypochondriac. For example, when I cook dinner, he’ll ask over and over, “Is this fully cooked? Are youit’s fully cooked?” I'm a patient person, and I don't mind working with him, but we don't have the money for a therapist every week. I love him and I want to help him so desperately but I'm not sure how.
That said, living with someone who interprets an arm tingle as evidence of a significant cardiac episode is not exactly conducive tomental health! While weekly therapy might not be healthy to the bank account, I strongly encourage your partner to get at least a proper diagnosis by a psychiatrist, who might recommend psychiatric medications that can help with the ferocious anxiety.
