I've recently told my boss I've been struggling and need extra help. I told him I was hiding it to avoid negatively impacting my career. He told me it was not a problem and suggested I take a week off work to refresh myself. I was shocked. My company is super helpful and is helping me with resources. I was shocked... I am shocked.

Have you told your work?

Yea I have. I think it entirely depends on your relationship with your boss and the culture. Something you will just know if sharing will benefit both you and the management or will just negatively impact you. That’s a really good sign if your boss responded that way! Shows they care about the employees as humans too :)
