Relapse, waiting to speak to boss, shame, etc HELP

Hi
I was very ill last year. Been good for a while now.
My job is ace, I love it, but I've had a bit of a set back last few days, kicked off by mild cold, ffs!! Pathetic.
Need a few days off. Boss calling me back in a bit. I need to tell her I can't work for a few days beyond a couple of calls / admin. Work at home.
Sweat pouring off me. Scared
Need hand hold!

If you're ill, you're ill - mental illness or physical, you need to look after yourself.

Thanks. My boss is lovely. I feel bad for letting people down, and it is a pita when people are off sick I know. I know she'll be nice about it.
