I know everybody wants what is best for me, and all they say is well-meant, but it’s not always a pleasure to hear the meanings of others.
Friends and family say it’s totally understandable that I don’t have energy at the moment combined with a fever. I know a lot has happened the last few months, but that’s not necessarily a reason to be sick now. Although everybody think that’s exactly the reason why.
And at work they seem to think that I will be absent again for a while. It’s two years ago that I stayed at home for a couple of months, feeling dizzy and tired, but that’s not what’s going on right now. Still it looks like they will never forget it happened, and apparently they think it might happen again. It’s not very motivating if they are already looking for someone to take over your job, when you just started to feel better again.
It would be nice though if there are people who think I am just sick for one week. It could happen to anybody. So why not me?
