So as the title says I (23f) put in the work group chat that I need a mental health day and if anyone would be willing to cover my shift. Now most of my co workers are kind and they understand that being a full time caregiver is a lot on mental health but once my relief came in for night shift I was laughed at and mocked for needing a mental health day while they are on antipsychotics and I am too young to need a mental health day. I tried saying everyone deserves a mental health day and they just laughed in my face.
I love my job dearly I love taking care of the elderly and being a friend to them but I cannot stand the shitty ass co workers who think just because I am young I am invincible. I am on anti depressants too! I am not invincible and if I need mental health days I am damn sure going to ask for them.
Long story short if I find a work from home job or by a miracle win the lottery or something I will thrive just being at home all day cleaning my house and crocheting.
Thank you for letting me rant..
