Do you need to be alone when you are sick?

I like to rest when I am sick. I prefer to be alone if everyone else is healthy. I really don't like to make everyone else sick. But I don't like to cook, etc. when I am sick either. And since I am the mommy I am always cooking, etc. Mommies are not supposed to get sick! But it is nice if my husband or my oldest makes me some nice hot soup and I can just rest in bed and feel better. Now, if all of us are sick then I am the one that is dosing up everyone with medicine, cooking the meals, and making sure that everyone gets better as soon as possible. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I don't like people around me when I'm sick. I just want my water,coffee,juice and then please leave me alone. As I just sleep when I'm sick or clean go fig. When I'm really sick I clean my house. Have a great day

Sometimes I like having someone with me when I'm sick but it just depends on how annoying they're really being. Sometimes it's nice having someone just sitting with me because it can be comforting when I'm not feeling well. Sometimes though it can be annoying because they're constantly bothering me or chattering away and all I want is some peace and quiet so I can feel better.

I need my mom beside me whenever i am sick. I need her hand on my head and she should be talking to me. And usually what happens is that she is busy in her work like cooking, cleaning, and shopping and i dont want her to do anything else beside sitting with me. But now i am alone in a foreign country for my studies and i got sick over here, and there was no one with me. It was the worst feeling i ever had here. I hope this will not happen to me again.

Sometimes I like the feeling of not being alone in the same room, even if I am pretty much passed out. However, if they are being loud and annoying, I probably want to be alone, LOL. The last thing I want to hear are my son and husband (his stepdad) being stupid and obnoxious with each other, especially if the illness involves a headache. I'm doing good to put up with that on a normal day!!! It is nice to have someone around to get you some water and maybe a few meds when you feel bad, though. I remember having bronchitis twice within about a two year time frame. This first time my parents were traveling, and I was MISERABLE alone in the house - I had no idea how sick I was, and was working my first job. The second time, I got to sleep a lot to heal, and only woke up long enough to take some medicine, drink some tea, and eat some toast which my mom brought me a few times a day. So, I don't really need pampering, but just someone to help and to have a presence is nice. :)

well to be honest, it doesn't bother me, and it shouldnt bother you.People are just caring

I need to be alone but my wife and daughter won't let me be alone.They become so concerned and pamper me till I get well.I just cannot help it.

I also like to be alone when I'm sick. My dad used to say I was like a little puppy dog that crouches in a corner by himself when he doesn't feel well. when I start wanting attention is when I'm starting to feel better. Then people can pamper me but not when I feel rotten.

I don't need to have someone around me when I'm sick. I just like to have someone around to help take care of the kids if I'm sick. It's not easy being sick when you're a stay at home mom and you can't just go lay down to get better.

no, i like it when mu husband takes care of me.. i get to be pampered lol..and i get the satisfaction that even though i look totally awful, he doesnt mind what i look like and still takes care of me!

Yes, I agree with you. It's good that my family respects me every time I don't feel well. They just see to it that I get what I need and then they respect my privacy and leave the room.

Hi! There are times I want to be left alone when i'm sick just to have that much needed rest and sleep, definitely you are not in your best mood to answer all their question why i'm sick.There are times if my ailment is not really that bad,it is still ok to have somebody with me just to attend to my needs.And I just want my family to be that somebody.

when i's sick i want my fiance be my side,that i will not feel alone.but,i usually dont wanna to say anything. ;)

when i am sick, i usually prefer to be alone during most of the day and around people right before i go to bed. having lots of people around me makes me mad and afraid to get them sick, so i like to be alone. but if i am alone all day i start to get lonely, and i need creature comfort

i think when one is sick, he/she should not be alone, a loved one should be there to shower the sick with love.

depends on ur sickness..some need people around while others may need to be just left out alone in some corner..

What i think is the same with you . NOWDAY ,when i get sick i will not tell my parents .because my afraid my parents worry. I WILL GEI THIS WITH MYSELF. Sometimes i fell i will not tell everything about me. I DO NOT everyone pity me .

when i get sick ,i will feel better if my parents and my lover are around with me .

when im sick...i would want to have my mom beside me.. i felt better when shes around..i feel comforted!

if i'm very sick, i want somebody take care of me. but if i'm not that bad, it's fine to leave it to me. i think it's very good to have somebody who are really caring about us, isn't it?
