Seriously what is the point of allowing employees to have something called a 'Personal Day' if you're going to decline it and force employees to take it on some random stupid day in march when it suits them?

So, my week has been ruined already by my own brain, fuelled by the stupid hormones I don't want or need.

However due to what happened that led to me breaking down today, I may need to speak up. The way I was spoken to today by a colleague struck me in a way that I can't ignore or forget.
And I know I'm not the only one that feels this way about this colleague.

I might speak about my mental health issues online, but I barely tell people in real life. Online I have a bit more anonymity and there's no overlap between online and IRL. I've only ever mentioned it to a couple of people at work that I trust.

Maybe it's because I spent so long without a job and I really, really don't want to end up in that situation again. Maybe it's an age thing.
Or maybe I'm overthinking things.
