M1 is right. You don't anybody an explanation. If you're sick, take a sick day. That's what they are for. Think of it this way, if you go to the office sick, your team will criticize you more for being sick around them than for taking a sick day.
No one is judging you... that worry is in and of itself a manifestation of your anxiety and depression. Health first — hugs.
Just say you’re ill with physical symptoms and you have to see your doctor. Say nothing more.
Thanks for the replies everyone! I guess I just struggle cause depression isn’t visible and when you sit next to your team at a conference table for 10 hours a day with no visible signs of sickness, it’s uncomfortable when someone asks how are you feeling the next day. Or when your manager pulls you aside separately and says “so were you just feeling one over yesterday?” Not only is it hard to explain, it’s personal and I shouldn’t have to.
@OP, you should not have to tell anyone what you’re suffering with or why you’re out of office. Totally unprofessional that anyone’s asking
What do you say? Especially when it’s related to mental health?
