So I called out of work for my internship yesterday due to not feeling well mentally.

I attended a networking event and college party on sunday and a mix of social unease, growing expectations and overall anxiety was weighing heavily on me. I felt like an idiot in the morning for the event and i felt like a social outcast at the party.

Thankfully i had a friend with me who attended both that felt similarly to me and after the party we went to his house and had some drinks to try to drown out the noise. I ended up calling out of work due to needing a mental health day but i just texted my manager that “I wasn’t feeling well”

I have work in the morning and my manager is a very nice guy and the type to ask for details to see if i’m doing alright. What is good excuse to say? I don’t want to mislead him too much but at the same time, I’m worried saying the truth would look bad
