Returning to Work After a Scary Ride

Going back to work tomorrow after being out for almost two weeks. I have had attendance issues at this job, mostly due to my mom having heart surgery and being sick, I’ve had COVID twice, and I was at the psych ward. I’ve had a lot of time off and people give me a lot of hate for it, which is understandable, but it’s very hard to deal with. Sometimes when I think about my life and what’s happened in it recently, it all seems like a lie, or a huge made up story to get out of work. But it’s actually my life, and it’s been a really scary ride the last couple of years. Anyways, I just got over my second round of COVID (had it late April/early May, then got it again beginning of Sept). I’m afraid of what my coworkers will say to me. I already had a coworker blow up on me and verbally abuse me a couple days before I got COVID, and it was the worst day I ever had at work. So I’m just very scared to go back, and not feel accepted.

Hi ..I understand. I always had problems with attendance at work. I would always have to come up with excuses for missing. It's because I just couldn't get it together...depression.

Sometimes I believe I deserve all this pain and suffering. I’m also about to lose my house because of all the time I’ve been out of work. I am getting help from my county but they only cover 2 months rent and I’m behind 3. I’m going to have to live in my car again and I’m scared
