'I used to pull sickies every few months because of stress'

'I used to pull sickies every few months because of stress' Amy Brennan says she used to need to "pull sickies" once every couple of months because she couldn't face going into work.

"I'd have a few days prior arguing with myself to get up, and go in," she tells the BBC.

But recently she realised she was doing this because of her mental health issues, so now she calls in sick and says she needs to take "a mental health day". BBC News
