I was poorly all over the Easter weekend break, sickness and tummy upset bug, really quite unpleasant.

I have only been back at work for 8 weeks (part time) following 13 months off so I went in today.

After 3 hours I went home poorly. I just felt sick, dizzy and unable to concentrate.

I now feel bad about this as I no longer feel so ill (have had an hour in bed which seems to have helped).

I am not "right" by any stretch but I also now feel that I could have maybe stayed, I feel guilty and I bet they all think that I am pregnant, I'm not But maybe without my sleep I would have still felt ill (and I did go to bed at 9pm last night so its hardly like I was burning the candle).

Realise its fairly unimportant in the grand scheme of life (!) but I do feel bad now. I can't even volunteer to work extra days instead as we have plans for my days off later in the week, including a day spa

yanbu
you were ill so you went home
make sure to rest up today though so you can go in fighting fit tomorrow

You only feel better because you went home and had a rest - if you had stayed at work you would have carried on feeling crap and probably not achieved much anyway.

Don't feel bad - you will be all fit for tomorrow.

it doesn't sound you pull sickies so take the opportunity for a rest so you are fit for when you next go in. At least you made the effort to go in.
