Sorry but that sounds like bullshit. There is no logical sequence of actions leading from "your employer being an asshole" into "you having to slash your leg open" which wouldn't first pass through "handing in your notice". Unless you are a literal slave.

If you are in enough mental distress self harm starts looking like a real good idea as an excuse to not go to work. Of course it’s not logical or reasonable. It’s a reaction to stress. It’s an irrational intrusive thought.

If I hadn’t experienced something similar I would feel a little skeptical. :(
