Transcript
why does calling in sick give me the WORST anxiety guys why does calling in sick give me the most anxiety like thing ever like I feel nauseous, I like was literally on the verge of tears, like I had spent like 25 minutes in this car building up the courage to call in sick and then like I just felt like I was judged for calling in sick, like the response was not what I was expecting and I feel so anxious, like I'm still anxious post the phone call, the interaction was not it. I don't know, I just I shouldn't have to feel bad for being burnt out and needing a day off. Especially as poor like I've just had the most normal shifts and I'm so drained mentally and physically. I just hate calling in sick because it gives me so much anxiety. And now I'm just anxious. And I feel guilty and I feel like shit. And I hate that I feel this way because I shouldn't have to be questioned or judged for calling in sick. Yeah. I don't know. Does anyone else get really anxious? Like me or what?
