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?

kvb4nq4There's a pretty harsh time limit for sygedagpenge, because it's a system designed only for simple and clear-cut stuff such as a fractured leg, not for phenomena like chronic illness, disabilities, or indeed mental problems such as stress.
Once you time out of the sygedagpenge-system, you are in the cash help system, and there will be no lube.
So, as much as you reasonably can, without building up even more stress, try to fix your problems before you end up on cash help. Reach out to your union, reach out to your a-kasse, reach out to your physician (praktiserende læge).

kvb6d0rI do not want to end up on cash help, what I want is a few weeks of stress sick leave. If that is too complicated to get, I am also opened to being voluntarily unemployed and then just sign up to Akasse when I am ready

kvb7mmtI think the time limit for sygedagpenge is something like 7 months, so if you think you only need a few weeks, then you don't need to worry.
Do reach out, though: physician, union, a-kasse.
