He kinda doesn't, that's the problem. He leaves it, a lot of the time not telling me about it, til he wakes up one morning in tears because he can't face going to work He's applied for a week off on May, but we've gotta get to May. So far his work don't realise he's taking stress leave, because he just gets a generic doctors note. I've told him over and over to tell them it's stress related, I think it would make a difference!
