Hell week and sick, with no paid sick leave, I still chose to be home anyway.

This week was so exhausting for me. I sincerely envy everyone that doesn’t suffer from PMDD or just have PMDD for a few days. I have the symptoms 2 weeks before my period starts and I honestly hate how half of my month is shit.

Top that with being sick today. I think enough is enough. I wont get paid for today, and my salary is low, but going to work despite being toxic and aggressive towards my coworkers and myself, and feeling so many emotions every single day, feels like betraying my body, who is screaming for rest.

I wish we normalised taking paid time off work for mental health issues, like PMDD. We dont choose to have PMDD, and we deserve to get paid anyway. Not paying your workers feels cold and cruel, as if you expect them to work anyway.
