Calling out feels impossible these days

Just got a new job and I've worked there for a little over a month. I also struggle with crippling depression so I often struggle getting out of bed, but I have been pushing through because my boss is a hard ass. Today was the day that I decided to call out and take care of myself because I had an extremely emotional day yesterday and this morning. I woke up at 6 am, texted boss, waited to hear back. I am now being threatened to resign because I called out. Boss texted “It would be wonderful if you came by this evening to help out, otherwise we can't continue this business relationship.” What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? Work for a boss that now scares the shit out of me or quit and upset everyone around me? All I can do is look for other…


Just got a new job and I've worked there for a little over a month.

I also struggle with crippling depression so I often struggle getting out of bed, but I have been pushing through because my boss is a hard ass.

Today was the day that I decided to call out and take care of myself because I had an extremely emotional day yesterday and this morning. I woke up at 6 am, texted boss, waited to hear back.

I am now being threatened to resign because I called out. Boss texted “It would be wonderful if you came by this evening to help out, otherwise we can't continue this business relationship.”

What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? Work for a boss that now scares the shit out of me or quit and upset everyone around me?

All I can do is look for other jobs while being patronized by my boss.
