Struggling

Would love to get some positivity from others. I have chronic migraines and have to miss work a lot. I feel so awful and guilty about it and feel like im a terrible employee and I am terrified I’m gonna get fired over this. I missed all of last week because my 2 yr old son is sick and now I have what he had and am sick. I’m so worried about calling out this week again. I just feel so upset with myself. Why can’t I just be normal and healthy?

I don’t believe normal is real. I think it’s more about your “baseline” and what’s needed to stay in that baseline, which is a your area of successful functioning.

Our bodies betray us sometimes, but that does not reflect your value. You’re wearing a lot of hats and managing a lot.

Be kind to yourself the way you would a friend. One day, one moment at a time. 🫶🏾
