Am I being naive?!

I’ve been suffering with anxiety and been off work and now I just feel like work is just being off and not happy. But surely my health comes first right? Or am I being naive?

Maybe you don't like your work? Why would you be naive for that

@Luna no I actually love my job but just feel like work expects me to be ok ans that’s it

Don't feel like you are being naive, you are allowed to allow yourself time to heal and time to focus on yourself. I handed in my notice and then handed in a sick note because I couldn't work due to this. Work will always be 3rd in line when it comes to priorities and you will always be replaced on the drop of a hat

@Sophie thank you, I’m glad it’s not me thinking I’m wrong for being my health first. I just feel like cos I’m taking time to recover and put myself first that they are judging me and basically slagging me off. I feel like I should just go back even though I’m not ready but I know if I do they win and I come off a lot worse. Also im sorry that you suffer from anxiety too. I’m always here if you would like a chat, just let me know and I’ll message you x

They will always try and make you feel guilty for taking time for yourself especially with mental health, no matter the work place but if it was them in your shoes it's a different story. Don't let them win and focus on you. Feel free to message me anytime I'm more than happy to chat 😊

@Sophie yeah that’s true, it’s just so annoying cos I’m making the decision to take care of myself and I get made to feel like I’m in the wrong somehow. Just the way they act really. I’ll give you a message now xx
