I would help it if I could

So here's what's been happening the past two days or so.

It actually starts last week. I woke up and had this strange feeling, like vertigo when you drink too much. I called the doctor's office from work, and they wanted me to go to ER. I didn't. By the next afternoon, the feeling was gone. This Tuesday, I woke up with the same feeling, only worse. I went to the ER. The doctor diagnosed me with vertigo, said I had fluid in my ear, and that I'm dehydrated. He pumped some fluids through an IV and gave me a Rx for the vertigo. Fine. Whatever. Problem is that this medicine knocks me the fuck out and gives me a nasty headache. So, it's either vertigo, with all the dizzy spinning nausea, or sleep constantly. I chose sleep. I woke up this morning and knew there was no fucking way I was going to manage to function today. I got an excuse from the ER doctor from work for today as well. I couldn't get through to my doctor's office (not that they'll be able to see me any time soon anyway...usually a 3 week wait, at least).

Clearly upset that I wasn't in today, Marianne asked me if I'll be there tomorrow. I don't know what to do. If I don't go, there is a 99% chance of me losing my job. If I do go, I can't take this Rx because I won't stay awake, but if I don't take the Rx I'm so lightheaded and dizzy that I can't walk straight. I guess all I can do is go in and try to make it through the day. This ought to be interesting.

To top all of that off, I'm still dealing with the depression that's had me a wreck for the past month or so. Does this shit never end?
Sorry.
