no friends, i am not that sick anymore. although i still have the pesky cough. and my officemates are inviting me to go out tonight! will i go? or i should not? ^__^;;
anyway, that's not my topic for this discussion.
when i was sick over the weekend, i remember we had too many people inside our house and i was watching tv in our living room. if i were in my normal condition i would have raised hell and told them to shut up. LOL no, really, i would have told them to be quiet. but as i've told you my dear friends, i was sick since last week which gotten worse because i went out with a friend as you may have learned. ^__^;;
but instead of being angry at the noisy people in our house, i surprisingly let it go and continued watching tv! for them it was a miracle. for me too. LOL i just felt so weak and i felt i didnt had the energy to be angry and work myself up. ^__^
what about you peeps?

You are right when we are ill we feel bad and much weak.So there is no need to waste energy ,just have a good rest and keep a nice mood to get well soon.Maybe throwing out anger is a good way to abreact.I believe your friends will understand you.Anyhow just do as you feel like.

hi chexingsen! ^__^
i thought so then that if i get angry i'll just be wasting energy. so i kept calm and avoid restraining myself. ^__^

lol yeah i think we can still be angry when we're sick. you've got a whole lot of patience- not being angry at the noisy people in your house! haha. i mean if i were you, i'd be like "shut up! can't you see that i'm sick? be considerate and be quiet!" or something like that. but i guess in a way you're right, when you're really sick you probably don't have the energy to be angry. so i think you did good. take care and hope that you are feeling much better now :)

hi kevs! ^__^
yeah, i was really feeling weak that time. my cough was killing me then and i decided to just concentrate on the tv and not mind all those noisy people. i have probably spent less energy by doing that than be angry at those people. ^__^;;
thanks kevs. im 100% okay now. ^__^

All I know is, when you are sick you get to feel uneasy.
With that comes, uncomfortable feeling and you get temperamental as well.
So to make it short, I do get angry and mad at times when not feeling right. I just hope that most of the people who are dear to me would understand, as that is what I also feel when one of them get sick...

i didnt actually control myself. i just didnt had the energy and the urge to get angry. ^__^;;
and then i didnt go to the doctor to get prescription medicine, i just bought a paracetamol. and then drink a lot of calamansi juice. i even put lemon juice on my meal until it tasted lemon and not the meal itself. ^__^;;

I am the total opposite. I wouldn't mind noise and stuff when I am feeling well. Having three children I am used to it. But when I am sick I don't like people around and hate noise. I do get more cranky when I am sick and people know it. LOL I do say I am sorry I know I am not feeling well and taking it out on you but still shut up! LOL Luckily my friends and family know this of me and don't take it to heart.

LOL i get annoyed too with noise when im sick especially if i have a headache but all i would do is knit my eyebrows and massage my temple so obviously that those creating noise would see it and would get the message to shut up because my head hurts with the noise. LOL

When I get sick, I am miserable. I hate staying in bed all the time. I hate the sweat and when I get slightly incontinent when I cough and I cannot get up, put the sheet in the wash, and put another on the bed, because then I might get a coughing spell. I hate when I have to make supper and I do not want to cough into the food, and I am always washing my hands.
I hate being helpless. I do not worry about getting angry, I am angry but do not show it, because I am in a funk all the time.

Actually it is the other way round. When you are sick, you cannot tolerate any noise and you tend to get angry for everything. That is what I have noticed with me and also with others.

Sometimes when you are sick and feeling weak, you just don't have the energy to say anything and avoid altercation. I do this too and sometimes it surprises my family as well hahaha! Glad to hear your feeling better. I would probably not go out with friends just yet. Just rest, you may think your feeling better, but your body is telling you that you still need time to recuperate.

actually, i had a slight headache then too. but then, i was really weak to do something other than lay down and watch tv. and it was really a rare event because usually, when i get annoyed over something like that, i wouldn't just let it pass. i'd yell at them. LOL

I get angry when I dont feel healthy.Its generally because I hate being sick and I tend to get irritated with myself when im sick.But if im bed ridden then I am harmless as a rabbit.

When I am really ill,I have no energy to be angry with anything,I think the most important thing is to get well soon,then I would like to care about something that concerns me.

you are right. its better to focus our energy on going well when we are sick. so that after we have finally recovered, we can get back at them! LOL just kidding. ^__^

i think i'm more angry when im not feeling good... but just towards certain people.
Family members i'll literally yell and tell them to leave me alone but if its a boyfriend or a friend i usually let it slide lol. I become a sucky baby when i'm sick.

I think it angers me at times when I am not keeping well.But I think going angry about the sickness will not help.it will add up to your woes as you will be wasting a lot of energy in that perhaps. So it is always good to keep your calm during the days which you fall sick.

When I am sick I can still be very angry. I have tried it a lot in my life. There are lots of instances where in there are a lot of annoying people that does not mind that you are not feeling well and they just annoy you more and more. It boils up my blood!

Anger can consume your every waking moment if you allow it too do so....if looking for a reason to get mad...it is easy to find...but the energy that you waste being angry usually will not solve the challenge at hand...instead forcing that energy to be used to find a solution to that challenge is a much better way to utilize it...LOL
I do not like to get angry and attempt to reroute that energy to something good instead...
Blessed be...

I guess I can still be angry while I'm sick. It's just that I can't vent my anger because I'm too weak to do so.

If I am sick, that's the time that I get annoyed or irritated easily and if someone will ride with my mood swing expect that I'll get angry easily. I don't like to be teased to thrown joke when I am sick, it seems like my patience is always at the brim that any moment it is going to explode. hehehhe
