OH My Goodness Gracious! There isn't nearly enough space in this message box, NOR is there enough minutes in this hour for me to go through every detail of what I been through this week.
It's been a great week like always, I just been juggling a million things with 2 fingers lately and working 100 hours overtime with my main online business.
I'm exhausted y'all!
Should I just call in dead because I don't have any more sick days. I took too many days off from my work this month and last month because I've been dizzy and really weak, and a lot of times I almost passed out.
I have anemia and I'm taking iron pills to build up my strength.
But I am really thinking about calling in DEAD because I wonder what the DEAD days are like. Are they better than sick days?...hmmm. 
Have you used up all your sick days from whatever you do? Your job, business, house duties, whatever...
Have you ever been so emotionally or physically exhausted?
If so, describe that feeling, and what did you do to "SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?"

Well, dizzy and fever and a headache and then my hips not working. Just plain depressed and not being able to make the house payment or any other bills.I got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and I'm still there. But I came up with a plan. I'm not paying any bills until Jan. And if they don't like it to bad. I told them will file if you don't wait. So now I have a plan. Not much of one but at least it is a start. Your friend onlydia

Lucky for me, i have not experience that.. hehe ^_^ SO far in my life, i have only called in sick, for just 3 times.. lol =D Twice in my school days, and once in my army days.. lol =D
I always believe in resting well and doing lots of exercises.. Because it gives us a healthy mind and body.. On top of that, exercises really relaxes us, and dun add on to our stress.. Learning to relax, and doing what's within our means is what we must learn to accept it as well ^_^

Hi miraclefreebies,
oh yes I have felt exhausted too and once I went on strike and stayed in bed all day and night, next day I felt much better.

Yes alot of time I've been physically and emotionally stressed out because of my job.When that happens if ever i don't have sick days anymore, i just called in for an emergency leave. After that I'm refreshed again and ready to work.

hahah yeah that sounds like something I almost did when I was employed
but then again I wasn't that lucky about finding a good work place anyway
better than sick days? if it is unlimited days, yeah of course :)
and yes I have been like that but now it doesn't bother me anymore'
I decided to just do the best I can
if we have to give up something for the sake of survival then we will do so
but when things are back to normal, we will get it back

hi miracle ..
yes i do overwork ..i have been emotionally exhausted many times ...
but the need for "money" thinking of the debts, thinking of better life keeps me going ...
i have only 1 choice now, that is starting on my own n put all my energy into my own business instead of wasting into anothers pocket
cheers

This was posted a week ago so I hope you got the answers you needed and that you're feeling better. I have felt this way before and I just took the time I needed to rest and relax and tried not to worry about anything else. It sounds like you may need to call a doctor for your anemia. It seems as though the iron isn't working for you anymore. I hope you're better soon.

Luckily I have 80 Hours of vacation and 240 sick Hours.
We have to use 24 hours of vacation time if we are sick and after the third day we can use the sick days.
I've never been sick more than a couple days and that was probably just a hangover.
I never used my sick days yet.
That's a good thing i guess because I hate being sick.

You sound like you have had a dreadful time,if you have kids pretend on of those is ill,that is what my mates do.if they have used all their sick days and get ill again.They did not stop their money if one of the kids was ill.Try that one,then go to bed and don't work for twenty four hours ,just sleep as much as you can ,i bet you start to feel better.Take care merry christmas.xx
