Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I am a [19M] and was just recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (January). After having a large attack that caused the left half of my body to have limited mobility and the left half of my face to be numb. After a month of physical therapy and new medications I am doing much better now and my mobility is almost back to normal.  However my face is still numb, I am not sure if this will ever get better. 

I just starting working full time again at my job on Monday March 18th and I have a lot of issues with fatigue and it takes a lot of will power to make it through the day. 

Just because I am sick does not mean that I cannot pay my bills. 

I was told that my work was going to be very cooperative with me and my MS. Everything was going great for the first part of the week and I had no issues and did not really need to take any breaks, but today I was working a little bit more fast paced then normal and was doing different tasks then normal. 

After the first 7 hours of the day I needed to take a break. 

I work in a warehouse type environment so there are basically no chairs that I could’ve used to sit in. So I sat down on the top of a table that we use to wrap parts in foam and other tasks like that (this is something that everyone sits on when they are taking a break, because again there are no chairs). After about 5 minutes of me sitting down trying to regain some energy my supervisor called me out of the room ( I thought it was because he needed my help with something in a different area of the building).  As soon as I walked through the door he said “you can’t be sitting on the table while you are on the job like that” and I said that I was sorry and that I just needed to take a break and then he said “that’s fine but when you need to take a break you can come talk to me and I will let you use my desk”. 

This immediately hurt my feelings. I felt like he was hinting at me leaving for the day so I clocked out and left. And I don’t think that is a very productive solution to me needing to take a break. 

I unfortunately need to take more breaks during the work week then I used to and I thought that my boss understood this and I thought this was okay. 

ATIA for wanting to speak to him and draw a line in the sand about me taking breaks when I need them? 

After all of the work that I have done and this terrible fight that I have found myself in, for someone to tell me to stop sitting around on the job really hurt my feelings.  

Any advise on the situation would be great. My concern is that I am thinking into this too much and that I will make a fool of myself.

P.S. - I have never made a post on reddit before but I am really looking for some outsider input on this.
