I'm currently doing an internship as a part of my education and woke up today with a terrible migraine. I have a hard time making my own decisions so I asked my mom if she thought I should call in sick and she said no… Even though I can barely walk right now AND I'm not even going to get employed though this internship! (Also on top of everything I live in a country where you don't even have a limited amount of sick days if you're employed…)
I feel like this is such an incredibly toxic way of looking at things. Why would I ever ever ever prioritize work over my own well being? We truly live in a dystopia…
