How do I not feel guilty for taking off work when I feel unwell?

Title, pretty much. Haven’t felt good all day, wasn’t able to think straight. Luckily, I WFH, so I messaged my lead and she told me it was fine and even told me she hopes I feel better. But even still, I feel guilty. Like I could’ve just pushed through instead of just leaving halfway through the day. I mean, that’s less money for me in the long run. How do I stop feeling so guilty about this? I really couldn’t think straight in the slightest, and when you’re a customer service representative, thats.. kinda your whole thing. I don’t know. Now I feel like I have to spend the rest of the day moping and feeling like garbage instead of playing my favorite video game to pass the time.
