I have only gone back to work this week after being of work sick. I suffer with Fibromyalgia and I am also in early weeks of pregnancy and feel pressure. To be honest been very anxious with this pregnancy so been off due to stress. I am still scared about losing this pregnancy.
So went back Sunday and on Monday saw my manager. He did drop a bombshell on me about his own health and I was upset to hear his news. He said to me that there's always someone worse off than you. At the time I didn't say nothing because he was not well. Then I had to push my own health aside and deal with whatever was going on with me to help him. He had to leave to go hospital etc.
Ofcourse I was very worried for him etc.
Cut long story short basically he had surgery back to work and basically very lucky but he actually going to be okay. What he told me was bad but probably he did panic and lucky it's not that bad.
Today I went in and I said are you okay etc. Because think really he should be resting.
Does anyone feel under pressure to go work because maybe other people have
Health issues too.
Don't get me wrong feel for him but feel like my health shouldn't just be dismissed. I really struggle at work but not going to kill myself for the job.
If I need time off I will going to take the time not feel guilty because people are in putting their health last.
Does anyone feel the same?
