Hey, Noa...
I stayed home two days about a week ago as well. When I met with my therapist, we were talking about what is the difference of feeling depressed and being diagnozed as depressed. I said one of the things the diagnosis ha done for me is that I do not need to feel guilty for calling in sick, because I *am* calling in sick.
We people have no need to add to our misery with self-blame. If you needed to stay home a couple of days then that's OK. I came out of my bottom just nicely this time, I am back to work, and only every now and then feel the old ache in the bottom of my stomach... Thigs will get better.
Lots of love, my special friend
Dee
