Taking Time Out

[AMC]

Yesterday I emailed my boss and asked to take some leave to process recent trauma resulting from 8 months of crisis with my M who I am NC with.

It was a wonderful relief and I couldn't recommend it more. Asking for what you need and working with others to achieve a compromise is liberating and reassuring.

I am sharing this on here because I know how long it took me to ask and now that I have done it and was totally upfront and honest about why I needed time, I can't remember why I was so afraid.

I am so glad you found the courage to do this! I hope you feel better after your break.
