I feel like since I’ve only worked at non-profits for the last few years I’ve become really guilt ridden if I call off.

I was supposed to work today but I was exhausted and really just needed a day for my brain. I did just have two days off and I called in anyways saying I didn’t feel well. I’m just annoyed because I feel extreme guilt for not going in even though I know I would have been miserable all day.

It feels like a never ending cycle and was wondering if anyone else felt this way?
