I want to call in but I'm afraid that since I'm not physically ill, then I shouldn't.

I'm having a hard time doing my job because it's hard for me to move and speak. I keep having periods where I can't move so all I can do is just stare.

There's also the problem with my anxiety and I guess paranoia.

I also did something to my leg and now it really stings whenever I move it, and my job requires me to walk around.

Generally, I'm not a fan of calling in sick when you're not sick. But only you can decide if your leg is significantly hurt to skip work.

One reason I don't recommend calling in for the other reasons mentioned is that it can easily become a habit that can jeopardize your job.

I know how hard it can be to have to work when feeling anxious. I've been there, so I do sympathize.

I'm going to be quitting this job in a few weeks when school starts and this is the first time I ever skipped work.



I think I took off some skin from my legs so it really stings if I move it a certain way.

If your leg injury is impeding your job, that would seem to qualify for being physically ill.

I was going to say what Koko said... if you have a physical injury, which it sounds like you do, that usually qualifies as a valid use of sick time. I've taken off sick time, for example, when I fell and sprained my ankle and needed to ice it (and I work from home and sit all day! I just didn't think I could focus on work and keep my foot elevated and iced.)

I hope your leg is feeling better, and that you were able to get some rest!
