Please take it easy on me it’s been a rough week for me and first time posting in AIBU.
On Thursday my partner took me to a&e because I was going to kill myself, wasn’t just suicidal thoughts I was going to go through with it. Anyways, now I’m under the care of the crisis team, I was seen by a social worker yesterday, and will be again on Sunday and a doctor on Monday. Work plays a lot into how stressed I am and how badly I feel about myself. For example, Wednesday evening at work, my colleagues, decided it would be funny to play a practical joke on me, my biggest fear is public speaking, and they told me that I would have to do that in front of everyone. Only to tell me an hour later, after panicking that I didn’t, and everyone just laughed at me for ages. I felt humiliated.
So here’s where it gets a bit tricky, my manager is also my brother. I haven’t been in since Thursday and my excuse has just been a bad tummy bug, because I don’t want anyone to know what’s happening, especially my brother. He phoned today to ask if I could come in today because yesterday was really busy, I work in a hotel bar, and I now feel like I have too.
So I guess my AIBU is do I not go in and disappoint my brother, tell him I will but can’t the next two days because I’ve got to see “doctors”-social worker and a doctor, I really don’t know what to do, and to make it worse I’ve actually know come down with a cough and I’m loosing my voice.
What would you do?
