Hi guys
I have talked to some of you before about job issues and thought I'd get you opinions. I have always suffered from panic attacks and anxiety attacks. For the most part of my life they didn't bother me a lot and never had to take medication for them. In the last couple years though they have made themselves more pronounced, I still remember when I had my first "bad" attack. It was dec 17 2013 I was lying on the couch and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe, my heart was racing my legs were shaking. It was a horrible experience. After going to a cardiologist and having tests run it was determined that it was caused by a anxiety attack as my heart was perfectly healthy.
Fast forward to present. I have been at my job now for close to two years and I like it, don't love but don't hate it. it hasn't been the best six months though I had a Nasty tooth infection in May that had me miss a couple weeks with the infection spreading and said tooth having to be pulled. About a month ago the panic attacks crept back into my life ( I am on a anxiety medication too, a low one ) I had a full out attack in front of co workers so they know that I have them. Bad experience and embarrassing for me. And now since Monday I have had a 102 fever and feels like pneumonia. I have had it before so know what it feels like. So needless to say it's been a crappy summer.
So today I get a text from a lady at work who says that all the managers there are pissed that I have been off for a couple days and that its so busy without me and they can't catch up. And that I should really be going in. I have heard customers say to me that the place runs so much better when I'm there and things go more smoothly
The place I work for hasn't hired anybody new since a few guys left back in August so pretty much everything has been dumped on me to get done.
Should I be going into work with a 102 fever and possibly pneumonia just to make them happy? The thought that there mad because I'm not there is also bothering me. Or should I just say screw it, that it's not my fault if I get sick and they don't have anybody to work.
Like I said earlier I like it there, but am really at the point of just wanting to walk out of there
