i feel guilty and embarrassed when I call out of work. Ive been yelled at quite a lot about my disability being fake and that im selfish when i call out (managers saying this) its struggling, but i usually get through it by reminding myself a few things. i know its stressful for a lot of ppl.
1. if i dont call out when i need to one day, ill probably end up having to call out for longer. ignoring my body pain is the wrong decision.
2. they cant equate my life long condition, to the task of calling someone to take my shift. it might be a hassle or they may be understaffed for a few hours, but thats nothing compared to having a chronic, lofe long condition.
3. if i go to work, how productive will it be. will i be crying in the office all day? giving customers wrong change or messing up orders because of fibro fog? if im hurting more than id help, its not worth it.
4. i have papers signed by my doctor saying if i need to call out, i can call out, i cant get in trouble for it.
