How do I stop feeling guilty for taking a sick day?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

You can stop feeling guilty for taking a sick day by getting a doctor's note or reminding yourself that rest is vital to doing your job well. If you're struggling with strong feelings of guilt over taking a sick day, having a doctor put in writing that you need rest can quickly quell that.

However, this isn't always practical, so try reminding yourself that you're helping your team by staying home and getting better. A day or two without you is far better than weeks without you if you get sicker, or weeks of everyone getting sick because you exposed them all.
