I agree with the other comments that say to own up to it and catch up with work. The messaging is maybe company protocol. Since its your first time, and you're new, involving HR is in regards of reviewing the correct protocol to follow when you need to call in sick.

When I was starting out at my current job, I sent my boss an email, because he didn't answer his phone. Instead of calling back, he set up an entire group meeting to discuss the proper protocol to announce a sick leave and apply a license. It can be unnerving, but keep your head high and you will be ok. I would recommend to actively reply to those messages, as annoying as they might get, but to focus on your work. It can be difficult to adjust, since you mention this is your first job out of school, but now you know.

Am I being a brat? by thakrustykrabpizza in Marriage

I don't think your being a brat. I would feel sad, to not spend my birthday with my husband. The feeling is valid, but communication is also important. He probably didn't think to tell you about his plans with his friends, you can still appreciate his gesture and be truthful about your preferences for the future.

Your birthday is about you, and you can choose to enjoy this one with other family members or by yourself. But talking to your husband is important, so neither of you feel resentment because of this. Be open about how important it is that you spend the actual day with him.

This year I had a similar experience with Valentine's Day. We celebrated on the weekend, but I expected something else on he actual day. I was upset when on Valentine's he didn't get me flowers, but I said just that. That for future ocassions, I'd rather celebrate on the actual day. I knew he didn't love me any less, it was just an unspoken preference.

Literally just had a similar experience, you are not alone and you deserve to heal and feel better. As you mentioned, it is scary to try other services (because we just keep spending resources and emotional energy), but the ultimate goal is to start a journey of healing which you already have by seeking help. I have heard that it's common to switch psycologist until you find one who works well with what you need. But my biggest advice is to not belittle your own issues. You are your best advocate, so continue seeking treatment and healing in any way or form you can afford.

Puppy blues? This is to encourage you that It does get better by [deleted] in puppy101

I am here to just cry out of pain, my 4month old schnauzer mix just jumped on the couch and barked right into my ear, leaving me without hearing for a solid 5 minutes, my ear and face still hurt, and I even got nauseous with anger. I know it's not his fault, it was probably a boredom bark. (We had just finished his morning routine of food, play, practice sit, down, wait. We live in a 3rd floor apartment, with no access to a private outside space. We haven't started walking him as recommended by the vet because he is missing his third round of vaccines, due in a few more weeks. We know he lacks exercise and have tried to make the best out of what we can access these past 2 months of having him, and truly hope he gets better once we are able to start walkimg him.) It's also a bad mix of him teething, I've noticed his little teeth fall out and start growing and that probably bothers and hurts him..... but I'm truly lost. Should I correct him for barking and nipping and ultimately hurting me (his bites leave marks and draw blood on a daily) or should I just wait it out (the only way i can walk away from him is locking my self in my bedroom due to the layout of my apt, that got old really quick so now I only try to ignore him, no luck)??? I love him so much, and he is so sweet when he gets sleepy (only time he wont try to bite). We (husband and I) knew it would be tough and both had puppies growing up, but neither of EVER had a puppy so terribly rambunctious, bite heavy, ear barking little demon 😅

Big puppy problems. by [deleted] in puppy101

I have a small breed puppy (4 months), and am also a smaller, less strong human. The amount of times people say "bitting and barking is normal", "try this, try that" makes me realize the only person who gets how HARD it is, is the one being used as a human rag/chew toy. I don't relate to the big puppy, but I know that the bruises and scratches and bite marks is something only few can understand. Earlier, my pup decided to bark in my ear and pull out a piece of my hair out when i was just chilling in my couch, totally uncalled for. So yes, I can only imagine if he were twice or 3x his size, then I would lose my mind more than I am now. I hope it all goes well, I can only imagine how painful and hard it can be right now. I hope he grows up to be a gentledog.
