Would they rather I make someone else sick? My mom said she is disappointed in me. How am I supposed to feel about that? I already feel bad enough. All this just makes me feel worse. I think I will turn my phone off and just ignore things for a bit. I don't live with my parents. My step dad was gonna give me a ride to work today. Otherwise they wouldn't have known I called off. I think I will go lay back down now. This stuff is too stressful.

I am sorry you are experiencing stress on top of stress!
I also find parents can go a bit overboard with their adult children. If we can see this as their way of caring/showing their concern, it may make it more tolerable. At the same time, it sounds like they were not validating the fact that you are ill today, which hurts.
How do you typically deal with your anxiety?
I hope you can get some rest and will feel better soon.
