I have recently decided to quit my very! toxic corporate job and will be unemployed since 1st of May. The job has burned me out completely, I worked in middle management and just need a break to recover from the stress. I know its possible to be on stress sick leave even though I will be on A-kasse. What is your advice? Should I visit the doctor while I am still employed, or is it enough to go there in May, when unemployed? I am able to push through until I leave, but I am sure as hell I won’t have the motivation to start a new job right away, since I am stressed and burned out.
Is it okay to tell that to my doctor? I never mentioned it to my doctor before, that I am stressed and struggling mentally.
What I now want is to get a few weeks off as a stress sick leave so I don’t have to apply for jobs when I am not mentally able to start a new job. Do you have experience with a case similar to mine, or do you know what is the procedure?

Go on sick leave immediately if your job has given you burnout. Burnout is serious and you do not want to risk making it worse by pulling through.

Yep call in sick and see your doctor to get their advice. But only get a doctors notice if your work place demand it, and the workplace also have to pay for it. Also talk to your union. Notice that when you have been sick 1 month, the "kommune/jobcenter" will get involved in your case, and you are obliged to answer all calls from them, and join all meetings or your money will be withdrawn. Jobcenter is a pain in the ass. This go for danish citizens, as you are english speaking I just mention this.
