I missed work 2 days last week, and I am off again today because I just can't face it, and this is not the first stretch I have had like this. It's not that I don't like my job, it's that I feel like I am dragging a boulder around with me when I try to get up and go. It's not physical pain, it's that the idea of getting up and being around people feels so draining that I simply want to hide in my bed all day. Do others feel that way sometimes?

I can't keep missing work and I am going to talk to my doctor but it is demoralizing to miss another day and to keep feeling like this, which of course leads to feeling worse and I don't want to spiral.

I don't know if I am describing this correctly, but it's the best I have at the moment.

If anyone has any advice for dealing with these kinds of issues I am all ears.

Thanks for listening.
