It's ok to take a personal day for whatever the fuck you want to take a personal day for. Stop making people feel guilty for trying to do something for themselves. This shit is always directed at poor people and FUCK. THAT. Literally no one asks a rich person why they are taking a day off.

100%. Work/life balance is so fucked up. The economy is a mess and our priorities are all out of whack.

I need to print your comment and tape it to my wall. I have such guilt/anxiety calling in sick bc my patients wait 2-3 months to see me (public health clinic), meanwhile my boss does it all the time. I wish we could schedule sick time. I have like 20 sick days saved up; I also figured better to have them saved bc we are deciding about having a baby soon, plus all my family lives in TX so (god forbid) just in case something happens to one of them.

Mhmm. Mental health days are just as important as "sick days."
