First time I've posted but thought this might be a good place to see if other people feel pushed out at work? Am currently off sick for Hyperemesis, have been for five weeks now. Had to be hospitalised at one point and given 8 bags of fluids as I had become so dehydrated. My boss has told me flat out she doesn't want me to come back untill ALL vomiting has ceased. So even though I'm only vomiting 1-2 times a day now (13 +4) I'm being told to stay off. Work bosses were aware this was coming as it was the same on my first pregnancy (this is my second) and I knew it was coming too but it has been worse this time and I'm now feeling rather depressed and low at being constantly nauseous for 2 months! Ever since I have been off my usual circle of good friends in work have all just dropped me, I haven't heard from anyone except my pregnant friend in one of our outreach clinics (who is wonderful and supportive but busy with her impending delivery) and my "closest" friend in the office. However she only messages me to basically check am I coming back and that they are struggling then disappears again. It's not by choice that I'm off and I would SERIOUSLY prefer to be back (I happen to love my job most of the time) but now I'm dreading going back and being dismissed and sneered at for being "melodramatic" and "over reacting and a skiver" which can be the attitude there (work mates lately have become very judgy people over the last year due to poor man management). I already feel like shit most of the time and this is making me feel even more isolated and low. Sorry to moan but outside of work I have one close friend, who I can't approach as she had an abortion in December and finds it difficult to be around me/pregnant people right now (understandably). I just feel lonely. I tried at first just messaging as we had always done in group chats ECT but I just seemed invisible so I just gave up and now I hate the thought of being there
