What do you do when you’re unwell with flu or virus and it’s more than just a cold? Do you feel guilty for calling in sick to work and stopping on the sofa or in bed?
I think I have flu, or if not a nasty virus that I have caught from my youngest (ds5). I have a high temperature, controlled by paracetamol but keeps shooting back up every few hours. I am also shivery, achy, coughing which rattles my head and makes it ache.
I feel guilty for not doing the usual and resting instead. I tried to rally this morning and have a shower (feeling mildly better than yesterday) but it’s left me wiped 🤒
note DH has been great, dc have been caring, no issues from work. But I feel guilty. I know it’s stupid. And I know if someone else told me that I’d reassure them not to be silly but I have this niggle that I need to woman up.
am I being daft or do others feel the same?
