Hey guys, I don’t feel like I have a very good “work ethic”. I get overwhelmed and exhausted easily (I work at a school) and then take a day or 2 off work while feeling really guilty the entire time only for the cycle to repeat. I’ve tried office jobs as well and those were slightly better but I still had days where I was so overwhelmed that I took a few days off while feeling very guilty the whole time.
I’m not good at showing up every day, every week and the thought of having to do that for a job for the rest of my life (till I retire) terrifies me. Am I a bad person with no work ethic? Am I doing the wrong jobs? Am I just lazy? I feel like a terrible person for not showing up to work everyday.
Note- I have several mental health issues but I’m in therapy and I’m on medications for them. Not sure if they’re helping me though.
