Hi everyone,

I have been really sick the last week. I went to work (I'm a teacher) on Monday and Tuesday. Then, because of an incoming hurricane, school was closed Wednesday through Friday.

It's now Saturday night, and I'm still sick. I went to the doctor to get some medication and they emphasized the importance of rest. That being said, that's all I feel like I've been doing, and it's majorly increasing my feelings of guilt and anxiety.

I have done nothing productive these last four days except for one load of laundry. I could have been grading, cleaning, etc. But now I've had four days off with nothing to show for it. I feel like such a bad person. I know I'm the only one holding myself to this standard but I'm still just so overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety.

I just needed to let these frustrations out and some support would be greatly appreciated right now.
