My experience-😞
I started a new job a month ago. Without going into too much detail I’ll just say I go above and beyond every day, and in my short time there I’ve already received praise from both our regional manager AND owner, which is a big deal. I’m trying SO HARD because I want to actually advance for once, but as of today it seems my migraines are going to ruin my chances again.
I was up all last night in excruciating pain vomiting, but knew I had to make it to work because a)I had to go in early pick up breakfast for an event, b)I’ve already had 1 sick day which they weren’t happy about, and c)since I just started I have no PTO yet, so sick day=no pay.
I dragged myself to work, set up breakfast and opened the office before anyone was even there, stopping intermittently to puke in the bathroom. After a few hours of my coworkers watching me run to the toilet, I knew I couldn’t do it anymore or else I’d wind up in the ER(which I can’t afford because I haven’t been at work long enough to receive benefits), so I told my manager I was so sorry but I needed to leave. And of course, immediate guilt trip about how “this isn’t a good look” blah blah blah, and it’s deja Vu all over again just like every other job I’ve had.
Why is it that all of the extra work I’ve done and even been praised for is immediately forgotten over something that I can’t control?? I understand the company needs reliability, and I’ve had plenty of migraines in the past month that I’ve toughed out without saying a word, but sometimes you just can’t. Do they think I WANT to stay home in pain, unpaid?? Medical bills are expensive, and so are migraine meds. I’m broke as hell and struggle to pay rent every single month. The pay at this job is not ideal because I’m starting at the bottom, but after 20 years of this shit it’s starting to look like no matter how hard I work, I’ll never work my way up or be recognized because of my medical condition.
I’m just so tired. I didn’t do anything to trigger this migraine…I never go out anymore, I avoid lots of my favorite foods, I stopped drinking alcohol and caffeine, I get plenty of sleep, the list goes on, but it doesn’t matter because the pain still keeps coming back. I don’t really have friends anymore, because I have to constantly cancel plans. One by one they’ve all disappeared, which I’ve come to terms with because at least now I’m not disappointing them.
If you actually read this far, I appreciate you. If anyone understands this feeling of helplessness it’s you guys. I don’t have anyone to listen, and knowing someone out there gets it makes me feel a little less alone. ❤️
