Sick from work

I’m in bed, heavy cold, bad chest and full of guilt as I’m not at work. I can’t even be bothered to log on remotely. The pressure in my job is intense, the workload is increasing and the team is being reduced by cuts.

I was bought up to be at work no matter what, but I’ve just given up. I couldn’t give a fuck today so I’m just lying here trying to stay positive and get better.

I just wanted to vent, I’m not in any risk of harming myself I just have to say it.

Thanks for listening.

Work to live not live to work! If you’re genuinely too ill to work, cut yourself some slack.

Thanks mate, I find it incredibly difficult to switch off, but I have on this occasion I guess.

You're ill, you're allowed time to recover. Don't feel guilty.

Get well soon

We're ill at the moment but being retired we don't have to worry about work or looking after small children. I do some of the care for my very elderly parents though and feel a bit bad that I can't get there. I also worried that I'd passed it on to them while I was incubating it. My mum just said that nobody gets ill on purpose and she's right

Had a minor stroke in November, working was fucking awful, father and son business and me. They argued all the time, it was not a nice experience, so when I had the stroke, I decided to walk away. Good for you I hear you say

Yeh? Well I can’t get a job for love nor money now...

She is right, you can only do so much to prevent the spread of it. I’m completely out of energy, just need to stop for once.

I've been off recently with pain related to my disability. I hate leaving my work for others and I know a lot won't get done, but I've had to learn that I have to look after myself first and foremost. My employer is, fortunately, supportive. Hope you feel better soon.

Everything seems so much worse when you are feeling ill. Drink plenty of fluids, take pain meds, rest and be kind to yourself. Tomorrow is a new day. Hope you feel better soon xx

you’ve found that good health over-rides many other considerations and things you once thought important. Get well soon.
