To be totally and utterly fed up?

[QuestionableMouse]

I have flu - proper flu, not a bad cold. I feel like absolute and utter crap.

My sister is hosting me and our parents for Christmas day and has been utterly awful towards me for the last couple of days because I'm really struggling. Highlights include "I'm wallowing in self pity" and "I'm fucking ruining Christmas by being so soft"

She has a cold and keeps snapping at me that she's not well either. I've cried more over the past few days than I have in ages with her. Not even sure why I'm posting, just need to vent I guess.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so poorly.

It sounds like you have the type of family that if you don’t go you’ll be blamed for ruining Xmas.

What’s your mum like?

If you go, then just try and put on a brave face and eat as much of her food as possible 😁
Then go home and don’t visit her again for a while.

I hope you don’t have much planned over the next few days.

She’s probably annoyed you’ve been too ill to help but not too ill to stay home. Convenient.

So you need to stay home.

Sorry but with flu you should have stayed home

Proper flu, you cant even sit up let alone stick a smile on the chops and eat

Get to your bed, just ask for fluids and paracetamol to be on the bedside and go and wallow . Im not being nasty, but seriously flu is as bad as it gets without dying - if you are lucky.

Theres christmases ahead, write this one off and look after yourself

Just to be clear: you are a grown up. Act like one: Stop being a martyr, stop risking infecting everyone else, take some ownership, stop wallowing in self pity and go home.

Your sister is outnumbered by the number of people on here telling you to go home. You are an adult, you are not well, stop dithering and go home and look after yourself. Leave the rest of them to it.

You and your sister are both unreasonable for spreading your viruses. This will be your New Years gifts to everyone.

Stay at home.

you are a grown up - you could have said "no". You should have said "no"

Go home if she's an arse. Who cares if it upsets her? she clearly doesn't care about upsetting you

You posted on my thread about the flu the other day I think. It really is a lousy one. You won't even be hungry. I felt sick all day yesterday and it's laid me very low emotionally as well. Just have a cup of tea with them if you really have to be social, keep your distance, go home!

Stay at home! It's doing a number on lots of people and you need to rest.

I've had it for 3 weeks now. It's not as bad as it was but I've been in tears. I've got constant headaches, sneezing and my teeth hurt now. I'm also exhausted even after sleeping all night.

@QuestionableMouse I'd leave as soon as possible. If you've taken your parents over then you've done your bit. Go home and sweat it out. xmas is just one day in the grand scheme of things and health is much more important.

And you're an adult, you say no you're not feeling well and will stay home today.

Seems like there's a lot more going on with you crying and being this distraught.
