I took yesterday and today off because I have a stiff neck and upper back with a migraine. I applied for the PTO through our website as instructed and set an out of office message. She just text me asking how I am but I know that's her intro to ask about work because she's done it before. Do I have to answer her? I want to ignore her but my anxiety about it isn't allowing me to relax and I need to f'ing relax to get better. Thoughts?
For context – I don't have a time sensitive projects that can't wait a few days or work in emergency situations
