Why do I feel like I’m doing something wrong when I decline to work

I’m exhausted 😩 I had the whole week off went back for two days I got today off but she found me a shift and offered it to me

I declined just for today I told her I can work whatever other days this week

I am just genuinely mentally exhausted. I’m getting burnt out and I am bummed because I am not getting to utilize all of my skills

Sometimes you need to take your days off to recuperate from work. If you’re able to go to work every day great, but you still need time off. Your manager knows you’re a hard worker appreciates having you or they wouldn’t be asking to have you on your day off. Why you feel guilty though is another matter. I hate turning down work myself on my days off, but sometimes I just want to go fishing. I’d go tomorrow if my truck was working.

@MrAboo thank you for saying this

I do work very hard, and I take a lot of pride in my work. I think this is also a contributor to why I feel so much guilt. my company places a lot of expectations on me, because I am one of the “main people” they utilize because I am very skilled in all areas where some of my coworkers have specializations

I love going outside I went for a nice stroll down the park and went and saw the lake today

Sometimes these things are very therapeutic for our overworked brains
