Why is it we are so programmed to care more about others than ourselves? I'm sitting here at work feeling sick, and yet I'm afraid to go home & rest & take care of myself b/c I feel like the ppl I work with will be upset with me or feel I've let them down. Even when I'm miserably sick, I feel like "I'm not really sick enough. I should push through." and feel guilty for taking a day off. I keep working on this, but it's very hard. Plus, in this economy, I'm afraid of losing my job. We really need my income just to make ends meet. I hate this.
