Missing work, does it happen to you?

[TryBcom]

Started a new job about a month ago, I really like it so far. Yet anxiety and depression has made me miss 4 days so far, including yesterday.... So I'm probably am going to definitely get a bit of tounge lashing. I know I just have to bare it and get on. Just curious how often does it happen to others and any advice to share on the subject.

If you really like the job, try very hard not to miss any more days. Four days out in one month will likely lead to the loss of this job, unless you improve your attendance. Are you seeing a psychiatrist for your anxiety? If not, you should. Also, consider anti depressants and a brief course of mild tranquilizers.

Actually guess it doesn't matter, they were not upset with the days I missed, but hit me with random drug test. (I smoke Marijuana at night it's legal.) But not for my job. So I guess that's that.

I miss a lot of work due to my physical and mental health, it sucks and I feel like my co workers look down on me for missing so much but I wish they understood. Thankfully I’m not on a point system but I still get scared they will fire me eventually. Sometimes I just need mental health days to either lay in bed all day or spend time with family. You’re not alone ❤️ try to take hot baths after work or do something to relax you so you’re able to make it into work on your scheduled days. I have to work overtime to get by and sometimes it gets too much. I have thought about getting on FMLA but you have to be at your job Atleast a year if I remember right.
