Time Off Work, Feel Bad

[Harpyiai]

I feel so bad for taking time off work but I feel SO awful and can hardly walk!

I work in a male dominated industry, and my colleges make me feel bad when I return work. Any advice?

Hey, I know how you must be feeling. But the way I look at is, in x amount of years when I’ve retired I will never look back and think maybe I should have gone in that day because of those guys. If anything, I will be thinking I should have taken more time rather than pushing myself. I really hope the pain eases for you soon x

Hi, I’m in the same boat. I’m the only female with 30 odd men.

A few of them know it’s ‘womens Problems’ and have been so lovely. Sadly, you always get the odd idiots that assume you are just sat at home watching loose women because you can’t be bothered.

Be honest with your manager and don’t worry about what others say or think.

You come first!
