Took a day off in week two of my new job and felt guilty all day. Too early?

Nothing was on fire, I just needed a day. I answered two Slack messages from bed and then felt worse about that. Is this just adjusting to a new job, or a sign I'm not coping?

Did you tell them it was a day off, or just say you were out? I'm trying to work out how to word it for my own first month, and I keep overthinking the phrasing.

Took one in my third week and honestly it was fine. My manager didn't even notice. The guilt was mostly in my head. Just say in standup that you're out so nobody has to guess.
