I've missed about 2 weeks of work because I was prescribed Cymbalta and it put me through hell. This is day 4 off Cymbalta now. I went into work yesterday to see how I would do and couldn't get any work done because everyone just wanted to know about what I was going through. One person after the other came into my office full of concern. It was way too much for me! I had to go home because I started bawling. I haven't cried that hard in a while- I'm sure because I needed to. I just wanted to go through everything on my desk and try to come back to my life and my job.
How do you handle people being really concerned about you? I mean, it's great to be cared about. I'm not taking that for granted, and I work with amazing people who I adore. But does the sympathy get to be too much?
