Trying to stay positive while sick...

I have what is referred to in the family as 'Mom's sick blanket' it's one I crochetted 30 some years ago and still have it. It doesn't match my decor so I keep it put up but when I'm sick I get it out or until the last couple years one of the kids would even get it for me. I curl up in bed or on sofa wrapped in my pink afghan and it always seems to comfort me just knowing it's wrapped around me.

i think the situation is quite bad. hmm, regarding thinking positive, i think its difficult to think positive when you are sick. I atleast can't do so. Nowadys it has become very difficult for me to think positive.

You must be a really hard worker. I hardly ever miss work but i dont think i would even bother trying to go if i was that sick. When im sick i like to take a nice hot, relaxing bath. It always makes me feel better. Or i curl up with a good book. I hope you get to feeling better.

I feel for you lecanis, I never have anyone pamper me, while my husband gets a little sniffle, he has me waiting on him hand and foot.. I guess how I pamper myself when I am as sick as you is to just sleep as much as possible. I know that is hard when you have a little one. Is there anyone to watch your child, even for a couple of hours?

recently I have been working with walking pnumonia as a small business owner taking time off especially during the holidays is difficult but today I did indulge I stay in bed late, watched bad TV shows and went to work late. Also I let my employees do some things I normally do myself like deliveries.. It was great I also do alot of affimations and mantras.... It helps so much..... I also try to say as many gratitudes as possible.....I still struggle some times but it helps

one thing only: "my family!" they are the only y i still live!!!

Awww, it sounds like you have the flu. Drink lots and lots so you don't get dehydrated. As for staying positive, try and get some rest, watch a lot of tv and just keep saying it won't last forever. I hope you feel better soon!

This is so sad ... But no matter what we can't pity ourselves because it is not the right attitude. I, sometimes feel alone even though surrounded by my family and I know that we are always alone in our fights. This is how I feel when I have a burden on my shoulders and I know perfectly well that I will have to deal with it by myself. Harsh reality and the possibility of getting stronger is the only reward in that case. Yes, be positive and think of this situation as a transition. You will be over soon. I wish you a lot of courage and I believe after the rainy days come the shiny ones. Look further... Best Regards Have a great day!!!

I'm so sorry you are feeling bad, lecanis. Sounds like the flu maybe? It's good that you are trying to stay positive..that is always good. Take care of yourself and feel better!

The most positive thing I can think of when I am sick is I know I will feel better soon. We both suffer from the vertigo, you know that will come and go but the fever and chills will leave and you will be well enough to go back to work. Another positive thing is your son will grow up and you will not have to watch him so much. That last one is positive and negative. I sure do miss my children. They are 29, and 26. I wish I had more time with them now.

I've been sick for over a week now, my s/o started it! lol Anyway, the past two days I've run fever off and on, so I opted to stay home from work, I really don't want to get someone else sick. Since I really don't do sick well, in other words, it really bugs me to be sick, I usually try to sleep and get over it. However, I usually end up, doing laundry, dishes, etc, because they 'need' to be done, not that he wouldn't do them when he got home from work, but just because I can't stand just sitting or laying around. Of course, this usually doesn't help me get well any quicker lol. Thank goodness I rarely ever get sick, this is the first time in 3 years.

aww i am so sorry to hear that you are not feelin well.i know that deal as well because i have been under the weather myself lately and it just sucks!just get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids and i hope you feel better soon hon.pattie

Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, or wasn't hon. Are you better now? I alway's grab some pillow's off the bed, my favorite quilt and a crisp clean sheet and curl up on the couch and sleep or watch tv. I just feel more comfortable on the couch when I'm sick than in my own bed. I guess because when I was a kid that's where my Mom would have me so she could keep a better eye on me instead of running up and down 2 flight's of stairs. lol Bay Lay Gray xx

Sorry to hear you were sick yesterday lecanis. I'm so behind with the kids being home yesterday and hubby being home today. As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to go Christmas shopping with him right now! Hey, are you feeling better today?

Well, there are many days I have felt like this in my Life, and I hope you are feeling better now. Since I am also Diabetic, and Insulin Diabetic to boot, sometimes it is a hard thing knowing what to do sometimes. I do hope you are feeling better so you can post here and enjoy myLot once again.

Hi hun, life is like that. We have to stay positive no matter what. I am sorry to hear that you are not well. You know what, I am all of that you have mentioned except for the baby part. I guess, a big blanket, some tissues, some good music and myLot help. You take care.

I just like making myself something good to drink, something that I know will help make me feel better, and I curl up with a blanket for as long as I possibly can, even if that means a few minutes. Then, I just relax, and do activities that I know won't make me feel worse.

Der lecanis, I am sugar patient. Everyday when I get up from bed I used to feel completely drowsy. I used to feel why should I get up from bed at all. I have a heart problem also. All the problems made me insane. I always used to feel as if I should sleep for ever an ever. I was suffering like this for a long time. Ultimately one day I decided why should I allow this sick feeling take over me all these years. Why I should not get up at 5 am every day and start the day. From the next day I got up at 5 am and went for a long walk. From that day I am feeling myself.

I just rest up and try to sleep it off most times. Other times I just stay comfortable with a nice drink (usually a hot tea). Doing either of those helps me stay positive while ill. Even when I had my major health problems years back, I just took it easy and lived life as I could. It maybe hard to describe, it might even be stupid, but thats how I lived it and its what I believe.

Sorry to hear about you getting sick....Definitely not a good feeling.... Well, I just try to think of nothing but rest...so that I can get well faster...To me, that is just motivational... It can be hard to feel positive as you feel lousy when you're sick....just think of all the good things in life and that will feel better
