I find myself calling into work probably once or twice a month. And I always feel so bad doing so. I’ve been called into the office and given a verbal warning about missing so much work, and that makes me feel even more guilty. I know realistically I am doing everything I can but it doesn’t make me feel any better. I’ve even gone and gotten a doctors note to excuse my absences when it is due to my flare ups.

I just find it frustrating, I hate missing work, my manager makes it seem like it’s the end of the world some days, when it really shouldn’t be. Would you rather me come sit on the toilet at work for 1/4-1/2 my shift? I know I’d rather not… especially cause those days are rough and it’s usually a sprint to the bathroom
