RE: Take a BREAK for your mental and emotional health.Period. - MindfulMonday
I completely agree. Your emotional and mental health are more important than anything else.
Nothing, I just called in on Monday morning - that I am having neck issues and won't come to work
It's a shame that - even in 2019 - you can't just call your boss and tell the truth.
Not so long ago, I had to go see the health insurance doctor - she decides whether I'm fit enough to go to work again or not. Aside from my back problems, I'm also struggling with burnout/depression, but my own doctor gave me the advice not to mention that to the health insurance doctor, because, in general, they refuse to acknowledge this as a reason you're not able to get a job again. I was stunned.
For me, my emotional and mental struggle is an even bigger issue than my physical problems are. It's a strange world we live in...
Yeah its weird and a shame that most of the people in today's world does not understand that there can be mental and emotional issues which is absolutely ok. I did not tell my boss the real reason because I know he would judge me and consider me weird due to the kind of human he is. Plus he might tell others and the world is cruel and might call me crazy which is not true but they would get a way of hurting me.
