I have terrible anxiety and my work is doing a party soon. I loathe going to them because it’s forced “family fun” and I have a sensitive stomach and can’t eat most of the food there. There are also games you are told you have to play and it’s all just incredibly awkward. I usually get myself worked up into a stomachache. Does it look obvious if i call in sick on the day of the party when people there know I’m anxious? I’m relatively new – less than a year at the job .
