Requesting a smidgen of sympathy and attention.

[OneSmallBox]

I don’t feel well.

i feel hungover. Which is sad because I’ve not had and gin for months and months. And my back hurts. And I’ve got a headache. And I feel a bit nauseous. And I’m really really tired. and there’s nobody around to pat my brow and make me a cup of tea which is also sad.

Sorry you’re feeling bad :( if you’re able to get up make yourself a cuppa, it’ll be worth it!

Poor you! Are you at work, or could you go for a bit of a rest? My recommendation is: take two paracetamol with a glass of water. Then have a warm bath or shower, maybe. Make yourself a Cup of tea (as pp - it will be worth it) and find something easy to eat like a couple of crackers or biscuits. Then pop to bed with a relaxing book or radio podcast. See how you feel in a couple of hours.

Lovely sympathy. Thank you.
im supposed to be working (at home) but might bin it and catch up tomorrow.
blurgh

Good idea - if you can make up the hours tomorrow without problems then I would definitely rest - if you don't feel better in a couple of hours then take the whole day. Be kind to yourself, and take care!💐

I am loathe to mention the C word but this is exactly how I felt when I had Covid recently.
The hangover feeling without the fun of a few drinks. Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds covidy?

I reckon you've got Covid, sorry. ☹️☹️

Can you order a cuppa in? Maybe a nice coffee or hot choc? Might be expensive but it's worth it if you're feeling rubbish.

Have you got any lateral flows?

Lots of water, rest, take some paracetamol or ibuprofen if you can, heat pack/hot water bottle for your back. Don’t stare at your phone or laptop screen. Bin work off for today - it won’t be the end of the world.

Oh bugger that hadn’t occurred to me.

Have some lovely drugs (legal), a nice cup of tea and a nap. I'm sure you deserve it.

LFT negative. Phew.

It'll be alright soon. x 💐

Mine was on the first day. I'd test again tomorrow just to be safe.

pathetically grateful for sympathy. How utterly feeble of me.
going to have a nap.

It's not feeble at all! Hope you're soon feeling better ❤️

Sounds like pregnancy to me! I've felt hungover for the past 19 weeks,

I would test again in a couple of days. I didn't show as positive until about a week after the first symptoms.

You're not feeble. It's OK to be not OK.

Take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon. x

How are you feeling, @OneSmallBox ?

Bless you, I’m fine. Tired though.
felt totally pathetic earlier hence the cry for sympathy. Much appreciated.

Not pathetic 😊

I think it's perfectly natural to want a bit of sympathy! ❤️😊

You have my sympathy, I've felt like this every day for years. Wake up feeling hungover - nausea, headache, body feels sore. It's hard to cope with
