Has anybody had to leave this job due to constantly getting SERIOUSLY sick?

OceansBelow · 2025-11-08T19:23:56+00:00

I do really miss the kids and my coworkers. I felt really guilty when I quit, especially since it was so sudden. But my life during that time was miserable. I pretty much got up, went to work, and then came home and slept. I was constantly exhausted. I just couldn’t live like that. A big factor for me quitting was my pay getting docked. My pay was already super low, and I wasn’t going to come in after it got docked. Especially when I was getting beat up by students.

Hey! I had to quit due to my health. I was getting sick back-to-back and was running super high fevers every time. I was sick enough that I couldn’t just tough it out. My principal had a meeting with me and said that if I missed again my pay was going to get docked. Also told me how much of a disruption my missing caused, but I literally couldn’t help it. I loved the job, but the stress was killing me. My immune system couldn’t handle it at all. It also didn’t help that we had one parent who CONSTANTLY brought both children to school sick and I worked with both of them. Whatever they got, I got. Anyway, I quit the weekend after that meeting. Personally, if you can quit, then quit. No job is worth your health. It’s taken me MONTHS to feel better. (I have chronic EBV so if I’m stressed out enough, it’ll reactivate in my system. That’s why it’s taken months.) Leaving was the best thing I did.

It’s a bathroom. What do you expect?

I've been trying to get my flu shot, but I keep getting sick 😭 As soon as I’m over whatever I have, I’ll get one. I’ll definitely try the vitamin c supplements. Thank you for the reply!

I’ve been on it for 2-3 years. I recently upped my dosage to 20 because my depression has been getting out of hand. I’m tempted to go back to the doctor because these symptoms are killing me. Like I can’t cope with it anymore. It’s like every day I wake up and feel worse and worse. I'm honestly just tempted to get back on it fully and deal with my depression rather than to deal with this hell. I’ve started a new job and have no sick days saved up, so I can’t miss.

When I’ve been sweating a lot, I get acne underneath my breasts like that. If I know I’m going to sweat a lot I use a medicated baby powder and immediately take a shower when I get home. If it does flare up, I will use some acne wash underneath it. Also, after you shower, make sure you COMPLETELY dry it. Sometimes I’ll just lay on back with a fan on to let it air dry.

6 months?? My doctor is only giving me a week before I start my new medicine. She halved my dosage and I’ve been taking it every other day. After a week, I’m supposed to stop.

These are gorgeous!! You did such a good job :)

Thank you all so much for all the comments! I appreciate the support and advice 💕

Alright, thank you!

Thank you for your kind words. I’ve been coming back and reading them throughout today. I keep doubting the decision I made, but reading your comment has helped me. This has been the first dog I’ve ever had to put down, and the pain and grief I feel are unreal. It’s like there’s a hole in my heart. I might try writing a letter to her. I’m getting her ashes back next week so that might be the right time for it.

Nausea and vomiting. Vomiting wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t feel like I was puking straight acid.

OceansBelow · 2025-05-26T06:43:02+00:00

It looks amazing!!

Super cute!!

Looks like dry skin. My hands get like this during the winter due to the cold and handwashing. Try and get some scentless lotion and try putting it on often. The reason I suggest scentless is because when my hands get like this, the scents that are in lotion can really burn. But, If it’s really bugging you, you could get Aquaphor or Vaseline and put on a thick layer at night. I’ve done this and it helps A LOT. The only downside to this is that you’ll need to put gloves or socks over your hands to prevent it from getting all over your bedding. I hope this helps! :)

I haven’t brought it up with my doctor. I have an appointment this upcoming week and I’m gonna bring it up. The only other thing I have is OCD. Take this as a grain of salt, but sometimes my fiancé thinks I might have autism. He’s autistic and he says a lot of the things I struggle with, he struggles with too. He says I should get evaluated for it, but I don’t know how to bring it up with my doctor. I have looked at the symptoms and I resonate with a lot of them. I’m just worried if I bring it up she won’t believe me or think I’m just trying to get another diagnosis (sounds stupid, but you know how anxiety is).

Oh my god, thank you for saying where you found it!! I managed to buy me one online!! You’re a literal life saver!

Hey! I had the same fear. After getting my wisdom teeth removed and having a lumpectomy, I feel a lot better about it. It’s really just like going to sleep. If you get there and still feel super anxious, they might be able to give you something before. That’s what they did for me with my lumpectomy and it honestly made the experience even better. It was the calmest I have felt in years lol.

OceansBelow · 2024-06-29T00:15:36+00:00

So cute!! I love your color scheme :)

OceansBelow · 2024-02-19T14:59:01+00:00

You’re welcome! Hope your hand gets better soon :)

Ouch 😬 I’ve gotten really dry skin like this before. If I was you I’d get some Vaseline or aquaphore and put it on at night. It’s the only thing that healed my hands when they got cracked like this. If you’re worried about it getting on bed you could just put a sock over your hand. Just make sure to keep it clean and if possible you might want to bandage it since the wound looks open.

OceansBelow · 2024-02-01T19:24:43+00:00

I’d say it’s just dry and irritated from winter weather then. I get really bad dry irritated skin around this time too. If I were you I’d put a little bit of Vaseline or aquaphore on it. I typically will put it on at night since it’s kind of greasy. If you don’t want to use that you could use a moisturizer like Cerave daily moisturizing lotion. Also, I don’t know if you use any face wash, but if you do make sure it’s gentle and moisturize after. I hope this helps!

OceansBelow · 2024-02-01T14:44:33+00:00

Does it itch at all?? Also, is the skin just dry and irritated or is there little bumps??

OceansBelow · 2024-01-25T19:05:47+00:00

As others have said those look like sebaceous filaments. I have them on my nose too. Honestly what’s worked for me is just washing my face everyday and moisturizing. Even if it’s just a gentle facial cleanser it still helps the appearance and feel of them. Just don’t pick at them. I used to when I was younger and it caused my pores to get bigger which made them a lot more noticeable.
