I took 3 days off to "work from home" after I found out about H's affair. I still have bad hours at work, although no bad days.
For me, it really helped to tell a few strategic people - my boss, my direct reports - the high-level overview of things.
Honestly, my job has been a lifeline - keeps me distracted, keeps my self-esteem up. Is there any chance you can turn this into just a leave of absence?
