Hi everyone,

I started getting sick Sunday with a sore throat, went to work Monday thinking maybe it was allergies. Got home and that night started getting the sniffles and congestion. I called out of work Tuesday as I have either the cold or the flu. Was hoping I'd be better Wednesday but ended up getting worse, and today I still feel the same as yesterday so I wasn't able to go in again. 

I feel super anxious like I'm going to be fired for being sick. I started this job in August so I am not able to use my actual sick time until 90 days worked. I'm perfectly fine being unpaid for these few days.

My boss seems to be okay with me taking time off sick, although I can't help but feel like I'm going to be fired once I go back to work or something. I work at a doctors office and I'm close to patients the entire time I'm working so I feel extra paranoid about working while being this sick. 

I have a doctors appointment today and I plan on getting a doctor's note.

Does anyone else get this anxious about calling out even if you really are sick? Am I just overthinking this? I literally feel like I'm going to have an anxiety attack. :(
