I have been having some weird health stuff going on recently. I didn’t think it had been affecting my work performance to a major degree. This week both my bosses have come to have a “talk” with me. Today when i left work one said he hopes i can get things fixed.
Cue panic attack
The best answer i have right now is i don’t exactly know what’s going on. The doctors don’t either, but are perfectly happy to have me throw money at it to see what sticks. Sadly, i dont have a lot of money to throw. And scheduling this crap means missing work. Missing work 1. Looks bad, and 2. Means less money still.
I feel like shit because it looks like i am slacking or straight dont give a fuck about my job. I CAN’T lose my job, and I don’t know how to really approach this and not come off as a liability. That is why i was trying to keep quiet about it...

Sorry to hear it. Have you expressed those concerns to your bosses? It's been my experience that people are generally receptive to honesty and would probably be willing to help if they can. Hope things look up.

I’d try talking to your bosses about it. They don’t need all the details, of course, but definitely let them know so maybe they can work with you.

I just wanted to say I empathize. Similar situation here - I’ve had some nerve issues lately with some really obvious effects, but I didn’t know quite how bad my memory was getting until I got in trouble at work. I started having to write down EVERY TASK just to remember to do them. Work was relatively understanding when I explained the situation, but it probably helped that I’d worked out a plan to deal with it.
I’m supposed to have more diagnostics, but yeah. Expensive, time-consuming, and it doesn’t sound like I’m going to die if I don’t, so ehhhh...

I have shared a bit with them, but this has been ongoing for a couple of months. My greatest fear is that i get another “ idiopathic”
