I feel like I'm losing it, should I just take a work break?

I've posted about this before, but I feel like I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. My career is extremely important to me. I'm also the main breadwinner, but thanks to an inheritance we could live for a bit just on my DHs salary.

I had to leave my previous job because of reasons outside of my control. I was very chuffed when I was able to find a job within days of starting looking. Unfortunately this job is a mess (almost literally), and could help further my career if it works out, but so far I've only seen red flags.

I've been super grumpy and I know I'm close to getting my period so that doesn't help, but I'm simply not happy.

They also rushed me to start ASAP when quite frankly there was no need for that at all.

Are there urgent deadlines? Could you start with a weeks leave and see how it goes?

No, apart from working on some spreadsheet not really. I would be happy if I was actually seeing that my efforts were going somewhere

I’m in a similar position. Watching with interest. Flogged some options from my last job and could in theory take a bit of time out, but the recruitment market in my sector seems quite shit right now (and has been for a good 12-18 months)
