"I had long ago stopped apologizing for needing to take a day off on short notice; “I’m not feeling well” was my line that could both mean physically or mentally unwell without having to specify."

I did this exact thing yesterday afternoon. While it is still difficult in the moment, it is so much easier to recover in bed at home than sitting at my desk at work. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I don't think you understand how much I relate to this Hanna. Consequently, today is WBR for me, the last one standing from your team <3. Although I tend to just disassociate instead of cry.

Oh Jamie, I hate for you that you relate to this! 💛 I hope it brings some comfort to know you’re not alone.
