Hi, if you've seen my prior posts you'll know I've been handling a heavy workload in a stressful environment, and hiding my anxiety and stress, for the most part, very well. Even when I've been overwhelmed I have been professional and got my work done. This week I am exhausted - I can't even watch a tv program, I'm aching all over, my eyesight seems to have deteriorated, I just feel barely able to function. I want to go home sick. We have to declare the nature of our illness...I couldn't tell you myself if this is a manifestation of stress or if I'm coiming down with a virus. Are there repercussions to citing stress? I don't want to have it on record or trigger something that makes it seem I am unable to cope (even though I really am struggling, and the Dr is aware). Many thanks
