I've been feeling rough for just over a week now, but because I wasn't honking up or with a huge head cold, I went into work on Mon after the Xmas break but had to take the rest of the week off. I'd planned on going back tomorrow but I really don't feel 100% still.
It's such a stupid bug - I just feel soooooo tired (having to have at least 1 nap in the day); can't do anything physical without having to lie down again afterwards; am off my food and the thought of a drink makes me retch (that's how I know I'm ill!)
I did have a monster headache all of last week, which has gone now, but I still feel really pathetic and weak. I'm a teacher, so setting the work is a real pain as well, and my head of dept hasn't been very supportive - just sent me an email saying 'get well', so that's made me feel really guilty about being off. I feel like I should go back tomorrow but the thought of it is making me upset and have just been crying all over dh. If I was streaming with cold, or being sick or I had the runs, then I'd feel 'better' about being off, but feeling like this makes me feel like a fraud. I'm also scared I'll get labelled as a skiver at school (only been working there for a year).
I'm just not used to being ill and I'm finding it really hard accepting that I'm not 100%. It's making me really unhappy.
