Firstly, thanks for reading.
I currently work in quite a stressful job. I am a 'Head of' but the department consists of me, and me only (safeguarding). I also look after other aspects of the organisation - compliance, GDPR, HR and governance. There's been quite a few issues internally lately and I have been supporting the staff (we are a small team). I'm also the first point for complaints in the organisation.
Quite frankly - I'm drained. I'm also worrying about an elderly parent, my house move is quite frankly going tits up and I'm exhausted.
I've made work aware and there is nothing they can do to ease capacity.
I have been in bed for two days with what I thought may be covid (it isn't) but I'm in agony all over and run down.
AIBU to take a couple of weeks off sick if I see my doctor on Monday? I feel bad for letting them down but I'm shattered.
