Sick leave due to burnout and insomnia — what hospital in Bangkok?

[lambshankredemption]

I’ve been dealing with increasingly severe burnout, anxiety, depressive mood, and worsening insomnia since a year or more now. Situation at work has been turning increasingly toxic and I feel like they’re trying to make me resign—I’m not getting work anymore, am not being invited to meetings/task as usual, and responsibilities that used to be mine go to others. If I get breadcrumbs of a task, I’m being put under a microscope with someone breathing on my neck looking for mistakes or framing judgement calls as mistakes. 
 

I started waking up in the early morning hours with anxiety and worries and this has turned into severe insomnia and I barely get 5 hours of fragmented sleep. 
 

I need a break but I’m not willing to let go of the severance, which is quite substantial and something I’ve worked for and earned over the years. 
 

Are there any hospitals that would issue an extended sick leave due to burnout, stress etc.? The longer the better.

Would the OP be a teacher by any chance ?  That can be stressful. Whatever job you have it should come with a leave allowance. If you have leave owing take it asap and take a break far away and somewhere quiet. Once you are chilled out a bit and your mind is in a better place consider your options for the future and make a game plan.

Of course they try to make you resign if this is your current state and it went from good to bad to worse... You would be a toxic person in the work place that impacts overall productivity, even if that is not your intention. What do you expect? You either change yourself into functional or that job is a dead road.

Unheloful pists have been removed.

 

A "hospital" does not decide whether to issue a sick note, a specific doctor does. And consider how hard it would then be to go back to work. Time off, even if you can get a doctor to recommend it, won't be infinite .  It will be time bound.  Just kicks the can down the road without solving anything.  And you can expect your employer to use the interval to find creative ways to terminate you. 

 

Since your issue are psychological rather than physiological, seek treatment for your  anxiety and depression. 

 

For  problems such as you describe a mixture of counselling (talk therapy) and medication usually work better than either alone. And it is advantageous to start with  counselling first  then have counsellor refer you to a psychiatrist for medication if indicated.

While you may need counselling for a period of months  you will feel some relief as soon as you have seen a professional and shared what is going on with them...as you'll no longer be dealing with things alone.
