A call center manager describes working through a migraine so severe they wore sunglasses in the dark, unable to leave despite the pain. They ignored their own health because they felt they couldn't step away, illustrating how overwork erodes self-care.
I was managing a call center at the time, plus I had other roles and responsibilities with help desk and that kind of thing, and I remember people coming to my office and they're like, why are you wearing sunglasses and the lights are out? And I'm like, I have a migraine and I can't leave, I have to keep working. So in those situations, we have to find our way through them. Clearly, I wasn't looking after myself.
