I'm so pissed off

I'm probably being petty . But I have been really ill I had flu and pneumonia on top . I was really ill it fucked me up physically and mentally. I have felt better for less than a week. And already I have a horrible cough/cold . I'm quite sure it is just a standard cough/cold but im just so pissed of just give me a break ffs. I feel very paranoid to because I never ever want to be as ill as I was again.

When i was ill I was even having dreams about my dad coming to see me and having chats with me about going with him to the after life. That's shit me up.

I so wish I could drive so I would not have to go on the germy buses . But I can't I have tried a few times . I'm not a safe driver so that's a no .

I've been so ill. Was in hospital last week pneumonia. Iv antibiotics. I was reading your post about having dreams about your dad. I had the same dreams about my mum. Hope you feel better soon

That sounds horrendous OP. It’s that crap time if year. You might need to boost your immune system as the illness has dragged you down.
Do you take multivitamins? Vit D can be depleted in the darker months. Echinacea is good for boosting the immune system.
Today at least, have the most restful day you can, comfy clothes and plenty of hot drinks. I find Lemsip quite comforting despite not liking the taste. Keep warm. Sit by a sunny window if you can or even sit outside for 20-30 minutes.
Is ordering in food an option? So you don’t have to cook and have minimal clearing up to do.
Hope you feel better soon.

I hope your feeling better. Its definitely awful being ill like that . I sometimes feel like people don't get it they just think you have a heavy cold or flu at most. It's honestly awful. Hope your on the mend though.

I'm sorry you had similar dreams to . Its kind of scary and emotionally upsetting to

Ugh that sounds so rough. Those fever dreams are weird and they Do stay with you.

sorry to hear you’re poorly again. Immunity probably still shaky after being so ill.

I second the self care the pp suggested today and going forward have a think about how you can try and do what you can to boost your immunity. Even if it only gives you mental boost to think you’re doing all you can.

It's so crappy when you finally get over an illness then another one hits you. I was resistant to 'taking a rest' when you can to head it off - but recently this seems to really help.

I know lots of people dislike face masks but if you get the face masks with decent filters (NR95/ FFP) I don't find them too bad to wear for 45 mins or so on a bus and filter ones protect the wearer (the bog standard ones tend to protect others from your particles, so not so protective to you).

Do you work/are you taking time off?

There's not a hope in hell of me wearing a mask. I start burning up get over headed and cough really bad . Then I end up chucking up .

I'm not at work . Its the bus school run I'm moaning about really . Can't walk it either as I live to far.
