I caught a bad cold and have the chills, feel congested, throat hurts, and just feeling so bad overall. I have work tomorrow and hate letting everyone down, but I think I have no choice but to go to the doctor and get a note. I probably need to get one for at least tomorrow and the next day. My goal is to be back Thursday, but it's hard to tell when I'll get better from this. As far as my mental health goes, things are getting increasingly stressful at work. I wake up with a sense of dread daily, cannot focus, feel extremely anxious and run down. It is getting so bad that when I qualify for FMLA (which will be in a few months), I might need to go out on leave. I'm just hanging on by a thread here.
