I’m on new medication for my anxiety and it’s been making me feel off, and I honestly just feel like I need a day off work because my brain has been working non-stop for hours just running through the billion things I am anxious about. I might just be over-reacting because panic attack though. However, my work has a policy where if you’re sick, you have to take a COVID test. I don’t really want to waste government resources lying about a symptom I don’t have, although I suppose I am nauseous from my new meds. I just don’t know what I would tell my boss though. I don’t have a job where I can work from home, and he would need to call someone in to cover for me. There’s the very real possibility that I’ll be an absolute disaster if I go in tomorrow, or a sleep deprived zombie at best. What would you do in my situation? Should I suck it up and go in to work or is there something else I should tell my boss?
