Me on the love meme.

Also, this seems like an appropriate time to say that I really, deeply appreciate every comment anyone's left on my various flails and bad days. I don't entirely have the head to go back and respond to everyone, but I really do appreciate it.

(Still not doing great, but back on an even keel where I can more or less deal with it at my normal level of 'can keep up the face and handle life'. Taking the days off work helped. A lot. Sleeping until 1 am the past few days helped also, even if it was kind of dumb. I'm hoping I can do some writing in a bit, and that might help too.)

In the long term, taking a few days to get back on an even keel is the superior strategy.

It really is. I need to remember that sometimes. I mean, work makes it a thing that can only happen so often in general, but -- I'm also trying to remember that my mental health comes before this specific job, even if I can't quite convince myself it comes before working in general.

If it helps, consider this - taking a day or two to get on the even keel makes it more likely you will retain your current job, instead of trying to power through it and having a much longer and more devastating break.
