Of course I overworked myself in the midst of moving homes and separating from my partner, and now I find myself physically ill and trying to recover from a near breakdown. I know I need self-care, but I'm not good at that. And work is breathing down my neck. I am out for a one week medical leave for stomach issues, probably an ulcer. I have let myself get so burned out and run down. How can I use this week to heal. I need some ideas. (Although I will still need to do work from home this week...) Really--how does anyone with this condition hold down a life and a job. I can barely do it. I'm hanging on by a thread, and this week off doesn't help the situation with my bosses being frustrated with me. (They even know of my condition but still expect me to be 100% because when I came back from a major episode and two years out of work, they said, "Well, we expect you to be fully functioning now and healthy enough to do your full list of responsibilities"— They even refused a reasonable accommodation!)
Anyway. Work/Life/Recovery...Thoughts?
