Oh you're right - 100% agree. When you've got that level of burnout/anxiety, a week or two ain't gonna cut it.
In most cases, the anxiety and stress from a work environment didn't happen overnight, and it's not going to go away overnight.
I do think most people don't quite get that until they're in the thick of it. Seen it with more than a couple of friends, and in every case, the only option was to walk away and switch work situations. If it's causing you that much stress, there's almost never a great reason to go back vs getting something new.
