Can't call off work, thinking about nonlethal overdosing at work?

[jujujabebe]

I can't call off work. I've already called off too many times. But I'm feeling so unwell, I don't have the mental capacity to go in and act normal. I've been thinking about taking a bunch of Benadryl and then going into work, that way if I get sick enough that they need to call an ambulance, they can't penalize me. I don't want to die at work obviously, but I want to take enough so that I can't reasonably be expected to stay. Is this fucked up? Would that be a shitty thing to do?

Don't do it. It's a bad idea. Period. I'm sorry you're forced to go in despite how bad you feel. It's so hard to have to manage your mental health internally at the same as doing your regular duties and tasks at the same time also as having to keep your symptoms from other people. Is there anyway you can make getting through the day easier?

why do you think it's a bad idea?

If your job realizes you overdosed (which they will probably suspect you took something if you start hallucinating, seizing, and becoming unresponsive out of nowhere. I don't think they'll suspect benadryl but they may well suspect something else) they will not be very pleased. They can't penalize you necessarily, but they can definitely show their disapproval if they are confident you overdosed. And unless you work an office job you're putting yourself and possible others in danger when you begin to become symptomatic. Also subjecting people to watching you in that state can be traumatizing. Benadryl overdoses are not pretty. They'll be traumatizing to you too most likely, I've heard the hallucinations are terrifying. I don't know what country you're from, but look into getting disability leave.

As what others said, it's gonna be painful and horrible until they do something and also after they do it.

I think it'd be better to consider whether this is the right job for you or not. You should not endanger yourself and especially your health for a job and a (greedy) CEO who gives a fuck in the end. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

As others said, seems to be quite a bad idea. You would get sent to hospital and admitted, no?
