I did not make it through work today

I’m so upset. It was the last day of January, I only had to make it to February first and my accommodation resets. Yet I had a health flare today. Started with having an asthma attack and using my nebulizer, then that triggered my POTS. My heart rate wouldn’t go below 120. I passed out twice, there was no way I could go back to work. My manager doesn’t work weekends so I sent an email that ChatGPT helped me write. I’m going to try and get an urgent appointment with my doctor on Monday but I doubt they’ll get me in sooner than 2 weeks. I’m so frustrated with my health and chronic illness. I’m so ready for this to be over.

I’m sorry this happened to you Hanna, I hope everything gets sorted out, just remember that you have a perfectly legitimate reason, health comes first and you seem to have done the right thing, definitely rest & recuperate until you feel better and try not to stress about it too much. I’m glad you’re on the mend anyway, take care.

You’re going through a challenging time, but try to expect things will get better. Have hopeful expectations, try to avoid bad outlook.

It’s not your fault if you felt sick

Having an asthma attack and passing out is no joke

You were right to stay at home
