I had a miscarriage and took a few days off of work. I returned back to the office today but was feeling mentally and physically overwhelmed. I ended up leaving the office early and was going to inform my manager but he was unavailable to speak in person. I ended up quickly sending him a message explaining why I had taken sick time (miscarriage) and explaining I was still dealing with it physically and mentally. I know miscarriages aren’t openly talked about in the workplace and I feel as though I may have made things weird. He sent his apologies and informed me the company offers employee assistance program services if I needed it. I can’t help but shake the feeling that I may have sounded unhinged or breaking social rules
