The most important thing is that the reason why someone is taking some time off from work is related to health. Whether it is mental health, physical health, emotional health or any kind of health, what matters is that the person takes time off to handle such situation.

As long as it is your own business that you are managing, it is always going to be very easy for you to take days off for your mental health when things get very serious and challenging for you to cope with. It is only when you are working for another company that you need to follow protocol before you can be able to take a leave when it is approved.

In my business, if I need rest for any reason, I'll take the time off. This is the reason why I had to start my own business because I want to have the power to make decisions on my own which would favor me without seeking for an approval from anyone.
 
Sometimes I have had to ask for a day off or several due to stress or anxiety, but this has happened very sporadically and it is not at all common in my entire work career, there have been in specific cases and when I have felt overwhelmed, I think we all feel that way at some point.
 
I've taken a mental health day or two when I really needed it. It's essential to prioritize our well-being, just like we do with physical health. I try not to make it a frequent thing, but when life gets overwhelming, it can be a game-changer.

Personally, there is no way I am going to do anything that is going to compromise my health for any kind of work. I know how important it is that I stay healthy because that is the only way I can be able to focus on every other aspect of my life and make sure that things stay as they should.
 
I've personally taken a few mental health days when I felt overwhelmed or just needed a break to recharge. It's not always easy to maintain that day-to-day rhythm, and everyone encounters moments when they need to step back and focus on their well-being.
 
I tried to ask my boss for a day off because I was just depressed because of hard times and he simply replied that there is no need to come up with stupid excuses and just say that I want to get drunk. It wasn't funny for me then, but the weekend I didn't get lucky, everything went well.
