I was so upset after Sunday's interactions with him that I barely slept a wink Sunday night. I told my boss I need Monday off due to "divorce crap", so I took the day off to rest and recuperate.

Now I have to fill in my boss about why I needed the day off.... I do not know what to tell him?

I have taken several days off through Aug, Sept and Oct. Even though I've earned the time off and it's my right to use those days, I feel guilty and worry about them letting me go if I have too many personal problems interfering with work, which I have had. It's my own fears at play here.

As it is, I barely slept last night too and had a terrible night's sleep filled with nightmares. I kept waking up every hour practically, thinking it was time to get up. I woke up in a sweat a LOT.
