As the title suggests I’m currently in a predicament. The pandemic and the situation at work have driven my anxiety through the roof. Right now even the thought of going into work and opening emails fills me with dread. I’ve been feeling nauseated, short of breath, heart palpitations everyday for the past weeks. In short, I think I am severely burned out, with depression and anxiety to the mix. I don’t feel capable of working at all, the brain fog is too heavy and I just stare stupidly at the screen unable to figure out what I should be doing. 

Honestly, I just want to quit. But I don’t really have anything else lined up and it scares me. I’m going to try and get a medical leave for some time and then decide. My current jobs pays decently but is destroying my mental health. What would you guys do? Any advice? I currently live with my parents (no rent) and have about 14k (in euros) saved up.
