... do you feel restless and/or guilty?
Actually, even staying home because of being sick is probably type-related... thoughts?

If I'm sick, that means I'm sick, so I don't feel guily at all. I'm more likely to be preoccupied about getting back healthy as soon as possible.

Restless, yes. Guilty? lol.
But generally I don't miss work from sickness unless a) I just felt like taking the day off, and being sick was a good excuse or b) I've been to the hospital/been physically debilitated by illness.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...

I never felt guilty about taking a sick day when I was sick.
Oh wait. I get these migraine headaches, and they're sometimes very frequent and bad, and I can't even get out of bed and sit upright, let alone work. There was a time when I was missing a LOT of work because of them. I didn't feel guilty really but I did feel bad for my co-workers that they were having to pick up my slack. And I kept working on finding some kind of solution for the headaches - going to doctors, trying different medications - so I could work regularly again.

I usually feel guilty about it because I'm not sure if my sickness is valid because I'm sure I can still get through the day without dying and I go everywhere in my mind from "I'm not sick I'm just imagining it" to "I really must be sick". If I actually have a really bad cold (which I go years at a time without catching anything as far as I know) then I don't feel guilty because I know that other people don't want it and it's really better all the way around if I stay at home. Anyway I hate calling in sick because I always feel like I need to somehow justify it and I don't know how to because I may not be sure if I should even stay home. I have called in sick before due to insomnia a couple times over the past three years because I couldn't sleep and then I needed to be to work by 8am and I felt like I probably wasn't going to be able to get through the day... and probably most of my problems are caused by my consistent lack of sleep. Also, I know that I don't really take care of myself really well... I don't know when I need to rest and I think it's really bad in the sense that I think taking care of oneself is really important and probably I shouldn't sacrifice my own well being because I feel guilty... but if I was certain about it in the first place I probably wouldn't feel guilty.
How do you not stay at home when sick? I mean, how is it possible to work with the flu/fever/vomit/headache?
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
I don't really get the flu and I doubt I get fevers very often (if ever) but I have a headache most days and sometimes I'm sick to my stomach... I mean I really don't think I get actual viruses very often (if my nose is running and I have a sore throat, am constantly coughing or blowing my nose, etc. I will generally stay home because it's the responsible thing to do and it's just plain dumb not to). I usually have a headache and feel some degree of shitty though... so it's more a matter of how shitty is "shitty". As for feeling guilty, I have a problem with guilt in general... I often feel guilty about things. I'm working on it.

Why do people feel guilty about lying? I don't get that. I mean, sure, I worry about getting caught, but...guilt?

The bold part all holds true for me. I rarely become so sick that I am physically unable to do any task, I usually just suck it up don't think about it. But sleeping derivation is just so painful when you haven't had proper sleep for the last 24-48 hours. With the fact that you might work in a place where you need high awareness/concentration would make matters worse. Anything more than 2 full days without sleep is just dangerous.
I feel guilty about something almost all of the time. I don't ever stay home from work because my work is AT home, but when I'm sick or a kid is sick and I don't get much done during the day, I do feel guilty. And thanks to the H1N1 thing, I've had one kid after another sick. Today I'm trying to catch up, but my living room is littered with baby toys and needs a good vacuuming. I've gotten the kitchen and bathroom cleaned so far.

Well, I generally feel bad when I stay home because I know I will have tons of assignments to make up when I go back...so I prefer not to stay home even if I am actually sick.

Guilty?? No way. I would only feel restless at home if I had nothing going on, no internet, and no new/interesting video games to play.
I generally don't stay home because I'm sick though. In fact I remember many times being forced to (when I really like my job).
When I hate it... well, let's just say those sick days get used up fast.
I used feel reaaaaaly guilty.
but after some things have happened, I see staying at home from work as a sort of sport. See how long I can stay home. It's a game for me. I once stayed home for 6 months. Nice paid holiday. Nowadays I don't have the same morals anymore as I used to have... and it feels awesome.
I feel guilty about lying about it, but no, I don't feel any guilt about not going to school/work/class, unless its something where I was actually needed, which is rare. I only feign it when it's socially necessary.
Not a rule, just a trend.
IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.
Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...
I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.
I actually agree with Gilly somewhat... there are like 1000 levels of awareness between awareness of sickness/physical condition and awareness of mind/emotion/whatever my awareness is. I don't really know the extent to which it all relates but I know that I'm aware of my mental/emotional state the majority of the time that I'm not immersed in my thoughts... the thing that starts tipping me off that something might be wrong is that my thoughts start dimming and I gradually become increasingly aware of this and then there are moments of confusion before I realize that it's physical. I'm not Si PoLR though. I'm mainly just a very mental person, whatever my type. Anyway I second guess myself unless it's blatantly obvious on the outside... I mean I can't be unsure about being sick if I'm coughing and sneezing and throwing up... because any doubt is stamped out by the very obvious things that I'm constantly doing because of it. I think that my main area of guilt centers in the interface between myself and others... if I didn't have to tell someone I was staying home, I think that I might actually feel less guilty. I know this doesn't make sense and seems retarded/pathetic... But I mean if I get sick to my stomach should I call in? What if I do and it doesn't happen the rest of the day... then obviously it wasn't very serious and not like I'm dying or something... it's like I don't really know what warrants calling in or how bad "bad" is. I usually rely on outside indicators. Like one time I went home when I had a headache because my vision was blurred... and I couldn't do my work because I couldn't focus with my eyes well enough, so then there's no room for doubt. I've also worked at places before where they really get on your case if you try to call in sick and then if I'm not sure to begin with then this just adds to the mess because then I have to be totally confident that I'm sick and say so with total confidence and explain why and I'd almost rather just go to work than do all of that (it's only 8 hrs).
i'm with fdg. when it's sick time it's stay at home miserable time. thankfully i haven't had an illness yet this year, and if i have had something, it's been mild. i hate being sick more than anything else. it's depressing and the minutes go by slowly, and i try to remind myself it is temporary but it doesn't work.
asd
First, it depends how sick. If it's the flu or anything requiring antibiotics, I stay home. If it's just a cold, I go to work. I totally identify with not really knowing how sick I am. Even if I have the flu, my mind is still going a mile-a-minute, so I get restless. If I'm in bed resting, I feel semi-okay, so I'll try and get up and do things. That's when I am reminded that I really need to be in bed, because I'll become exhausted quickly.
I go home for headaches, too, because I just can't think with a headache. It takes me five times longer to do a simple task, and being at work makes my headache worse. It's really better to go home and get rid of the headache.
IEE
So do I. But I suck at pacing myself.
Yeah. I don't feel a drop of remorse about lying, unless it involves people I care about and a significant enough situation. And guilt over missing work – let alone with a "legitimate" excuse? lol no. I feel more guilty going to work, or school, or whatever, than finding a clever way to circumvent the clusterfuck. But I don't get sick anymore, despite living unhealthily.
