As everyone says, there is no right answer, only what’s right for you. I’m one of those who worked throughout treatment but I had none of the side effects that can make that really hard - no

My time for thinking about beneficial changes was a year later - a new job, big challenge and a four day week! Everyone has different times and motivations for what they do and what they can do. While the financial repercussions are very real if you stop work, you also need to factor what else you get out of soldiering on. It sounds pretty grim! Your emotional health as well as your physical health might be eased considerably by taking a break. Best wishes whatever you decide.
