anya has taken the words from my mouth, morethan. If there's too much in life then a doctor can give sick leave to create some space. You then use the space to help yourself feel just a little bit better. So some rest, maybe coffee with a friend, certainly structured time (not all day!) sorting the paper. If you were home is there a friend who could help you with that a bit? Or just keep the tea and coffee flowing for you? The time away from work would help,clear your head and give space to think through what you really want to do at work. I guess most of us have a tendency to think the worst of ourselves when we are tired and drained. If your new work colleagues were in your situation they would be as overwhelmed as you are feeling now. Just a little bit of space would help you re-charge. Think about it?
