I used to call in sick a lot. My mother would ALWAYS say, "at least its just you - you dont have to worry about little kids to feed." So i would guess thats what the wife and parents are worried about. Usually after 3 days of calling in you have to bring in a written doctors excuse.

You say youve been toeing the line like its not a line you chose. But other people do think kids are a line you chose.

If you are depressed, please get help. I wish i had gotten on meds sooner and gotten better therapy sooner. Maybe i wouldnt be alone now. Life is short and actions have consequences. Stuff just got real.

Yeah I agree - what the hell?

Sometimes we need a mental health break!

Guess they're concerned, but it doesn't help you right now if you feel that you need your space.
Thanks for this!

No matter how much other people, husbands, wives, partners, parents, no matter how much you try to explain, no matter how much they educate themselves, they will never 'get it' until they themselves have personally experienced it. All they see is warning signs. They do not see the build up for days or weeks before hand, where you are only just holding it together, 'toeing the line' All they see is the result. And it scares them. They don't want you to be there, they want to help. And more often than not, they panic. Rather than giving you the time and space to breathe, they feel overwhelmed with concern, and need to fix you rather than accept that in some cases you have the ability to fix yourself with downtime.

At least they care enough to show it.......

When I worked I left before my husband if I called in sick he made a list of things for me to do. Ummmmmm I am sick. I have lupus RA fibro and a bunch of other stuff. Me calling in sick is because I am sick. A couple of times my husband would tell me to suck it up and go to work which mad me mad and I went. Before I got to sick to work my boss and I were trying to figure a way for me to call in sick and not tell my husband then I got really sick and had to have chemo for a year.

Sometimes you need a break, from your spouse, the kids, pets etc. a day just for you

Good luck I feel your pain

Oh then yeah. I was in computers and we worked a lot of weekends too. So time was pretty flexible. Normal people didnt get it. They were all like, you have to go in!! Then they didnt understand when i really DID have to go in if the phone rang at whatever hour. Doctors hours but not doctors pay, we used to say.
