Sick and Causing Issues

I’ve been extremely sick for over 3 weeks now. I’ve been to the doctor and ER about 5 times now in those 3 weeks. It’s been causing me to be unable to work due to illness and yet I don’t have medical leave. This is causing my anxiety to spike heavily because now I’m behind on bills, I feel like I’m letting my family down, my significant other down, and myself down. I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, ptsd, adhd, and major depression a couple months ago but my insurance stopped covering my therapy and physiatrist shortly after. I used tele doctors because I also suffer from extreme social anxiety. I even work from home it’s that bad. But with me physically getting ill from a medical issue and now my anxiety also causing me to get physically ill it’s become hard to even work. I’m at a loss on what to do which adds to all of it and now I’m up super late at night writing this with no idea how I’m supposed to get through tomorrow.

I can relate. It's hard to think straight with so much at stake while you're sick.

Focus on healing and don't let the docs give you the runaround.

Sending healing vibes🪷

Try to get someone to help with the stressful stuff. Don't be hard on yourself 🪷

Ironically I got out of bed today and stepped directly on my work headset and broke it. When it rains it storms right? Haven’t been able to work so I don’t have the funds to get a new one to replace it. So just adds to the overwhelming. But truly thank you.

If I could reach through my phone I'd let you borrow mine.

😂 thank you. The thought for sure counts. Had a mental break down because of it but HR told me to call off today. So at least I ain’t gotta worry on that for today. Gonna work on taking a mental health day.
