> I want to encourage you not to see going to the hospital as a sign of weakness. It is a way to take care of yourself.
And taking care of yourself is a sign of strength. So is facing your fears about it and overcoming them. So is facing your concerns about what your co-workers might think and putting your health before some imagined image (it seems like they have a solid sense of concern for you).
Taking a positive action requires both strength and courage -- so see this step for what it truly is, and not what our culture's ignorant stereotypes make it out to be.
Stay strong!
