I was working insane hours with constant phone calls on my off time. He was out for MONTHS, then had doctors appointments weekly for months. During these two months, my boss had an aortic tear, I took over his position, unwillingly and killed at it. I got my testing, which took an excruciating 2 months to find out I did not have cancer. Three days before my 30th birthday I found a lump in my breast, and freaked out and decided I was no longer putting myself off. I have always put myself on the back burner. My siblings and I all have various diagnosed health issues that are genetic. I also was pro-created by two people with horrible genes on their own that should not have mixed them together to create children. This was not an issue while I was working from home, however - it is now that I am back in the office. We see them once a month and unfortunately I cannot get appointment times past 3:30. We both see therapist and psychiatrist for meds and therapy. My teenage daughter and I's (like everyone else) mental health issues exasperated during this time. When covid started I was able to work from home. I have been at my nifty little office job for 3 years now, after years of retail management.
