Stress leave

My doctor has put me on stress leave. I messaged my boss and told her that I’m off for the rest of the week and that I’ll send her my medical certificate. She sent me a text back asking if I’m okay. Knowing her, I take this as her fishing for details that I don’t particularly want to share, nor am I technically obligated to. How do I respond to her message? I don’t want to go into detail.

I’m a legal assistant and the lawyer I’m assigned to is very particular about things, so most days I feel like I’m walking on egg shells and second guessing…

I’m a legal assistant and the lawyer I’m assigned to is very particular about things, so most days I feel like I’m walking on egg shells and second guessing every decision I make. I think I need to find something more suited to my personality. I’m an empath and quite sensitive and I can’t take any more stress.

Sorry if I posted this on the wrong sub lol
