Help when sick?

[whycantidothisforflipssake]

Just wondering if anyone can help me. I seem to have either food poisoning or a sick bug that came on around 7am this morning. I literally can hardly function, climbing the stairs is a mammoth effort, everything aches and obviously I keep being sick.

Dd is 11months old, and her father fucked off eight or so months ago and has to my knowledge left the country. I have got literally no-one to help me (my mother is elderly and not capable of even changing a nappy), all my friends are either working or have their own babies and obviously I don't want to risk passing anything on to either dd or another family.

Can anyone come up with any bright ideas? Is there anything I can take to make me feel better? Dd has been stuck in front of the tv most of the day already and I feel so guilty...

Oh you poor thing ☹️ I'm in exactly the same boat with literally no-one to call on so know how awful it is. DO NOT feel guilty about plonking her in front of the telly - it's one or two days & you just need to do whatever you need to at times like this. It's only happened to me once in 4 years and I remember making a wall of cushions etc and blocking DD into a safe area while I just semi-dosed on the settee until the worst was over. As long as she's safe & fed she'll be fine for a bit. No ideas to help you feel better sorry, think it's just time until whatever it is is out of your system. Hope you feel more human very soon.

Thanks, and sorry you are in the same boat. I just tried to give her lunch and had to keep going upstairs to be sick. I can hardly lift her I feel so weak.

Just feeling very sorry for myself and I knew this day would come someday but it's all too much.

I had this. D and v and 4 kids to look after one being a new born, one 3 one 5 and one 6. Its rough but you just have to get through it. ex is absent and i also have no family/friends that would help.

Nothing to feel guilty about. You already feel bad enough with the bug. You are doing so well already. I'm a lone parent too. I know how you feel.

Thanks for the sympathy. At least mum actually agreed to take her out for a walk to the park for an hour earlier so i got some sleep. Feel like I've been bulldozerEd and now have to do dinner, bath and bed.

I work full time and this is my day off with her before we have to do all the chores tomorrow, and I've hardly seen her 😢 seriously, feel so guilty and sorry for myself. Drinking flat full fat coke as can't keep anything else down. It's scary, making me think all sorts of morbid thoughts, like what would happen to her if I got seriously ill...
