I've experienced something similar. It wasn't college - it was work. I'd been sick and off work for a day ~ but because I knew my job was solid, and because I was exhausted, I called off work for either 4 or 5 days ~ I can't remember. But then the guilt hit me, and I KNEW I couldn't go back there!!! After I'd "taken" them for a few days?? How could I go back?? I had the weekend to think about this -- and it was eating me up.
Finally - I just STEELED myself against whatever was to happen and went to work. I was terrified - I didn't know if I was going to be fired or not. Well, I was WELCOMED back, and everyone was so glad I was back ~ and they all hoped I was all better!!  I have never felt so ashamed in my life! Needless to say, I never did anything like that again. They didn't need to punish me -- I did it myself.  Hugs, Lee
