I wrote a few forum entries last night about being super frustrated and fed up with my job. It\'s a new job, I\'ve only been there 2 months and I\'ve had some health issues going on causing me to miss some time. It\'s not that I want to miss the time – it\'s unpaid sick time and I live alone, so this is not a good thing – but I don\'t really have a choice.

 My doc put me off work on Thursday morning due to having the flu. She said I needed to go home and rest which I took seriously considering that I\'m a full-time student as well a full-time worker. I called in sick to work that day, and I was off the next. I\'ve spent the majority of that time in bed, sleeping or resting – too exhausted to even read a book. Per an email from the head manager of my department, I made the executive decision at 4pm last night to call in sick for today as well – giving them 12 hours notice which should be plenty. I guess not – my supervisor was really mad, and told me that "this leaves us short handed" and "no amount of notice is enough on a holiday weekend" and "to call her later if anything changes". She also mentioned that "everyone feels unwell sometimes but they still come to work".

 I was pretty frustrated after that call last night. They do know that I have depression/anxiety however I\'m not sure if anyone in management really "gets it". Being sick for me doesn\'t necessarily mean that I have the flu, or that I have physical symptoms. Being sick for me can sometimes mean that I just simply can\'t get out of bed – whether I want to or not. Sometimes it means that I can get dressed and go out and get groceries, but after 20 mins I\'m just so stressed and overwhelmed by being out in society that I need to go home and be alone.

 I\'m doing much better this morning after having slept last night. I\'ll be going in to work tomorrow because I don\'t dare call in sick again – calling them is too stressful now. I\'m trying not to think about what\'s going to happen when I go in because I\'m terrified that they\'re going to fire me (it happened earlier this summer at my dream job and it wasn\'t even attendance related).
