I never, ever, ever call into work if I am not legitimately sick, but tonight all of the bad feelings hit at once.

I had a severe dissociative episode where I felt another person inhabiting my body and pushing my mind to the back, and it said it was “protecting me”.

My parents got divorced recently, and tonight I found out that it was because Mom had been seeing another man for 6 months, and she kept it a secret from us that entire time.

It feels like my entire world is falling apart, and I just started this new job, and I’m having a terrible time adjusting to it while all of this is going. 

If I call in sick today that will give me 2 entire full days to process how I am feeling, and I hate calling in because the store is short-staffed as it is, and they will resent me for it, but it feels like my brain is imploding.
