Still Feeling Sick (or This Will Be Another Short Post)

I know I just wrote about how miserable I was feeling this week. Unfortunately, that’s continued through the rest of this week. I have been really struggling a lot and I just can’t seem to make myself feel better. I’ve been trying all the things I have figured out in the past plus the new things I have just gotten to try to not be in as much pain or feel as nauseous. I am glad that I was able to get my anti-nausea medication in the mail yesterday so I was able to start taking that and it does help a bit. But I’ve just had to think of this week as a bit of a loss.

I really wanted to go out and do some fun things after work because my schedule had the availability for it. Instead, I have been spending so much time on my couch and in my bed. I’m even having to work from bed a bit because I am in so much pain. I hate doing that because it’s easier to work sitting at my desk. But when the pain is so bad that you can’t sit upright, working from bed has to be done. I probably should invest in a little surface I can put my laptop on to make working from bed easier. But I also don’t want to think that I will have to do that too much since it’s usually such a rare thing.

And when I’m in so much physical pain, I know my mental health takes a hit. I’m trying to do the things that I enjoy that aren’t causing me more issues. I’ve been reading a lot before and after work, and that’s a nice distraction. I haven’t been stressing out about things that aren’t as important or necessary right now like being perfect with cleaning. My condo isn’t messy, but I try to do some cleaning every day so it doesn’t pile up. But I’ve been letting it slide this week because I just don’t feel like it.

I know that this will be temporary and I usually don’t feel this bad. And I guess it’s good that I didn’t have anything I had to do this week. When my parents were here last month, it was when I was in pain and nauseous, but it wasn’t this bad. If it was, our visit would have been a lot worse. So I guess if I have to be miserable, it’s good that I’m not having to take things off of my schedule. And I know that it’s unlikely that next month will be like this, so I should be able to not have a week where I just can’t do much. But even though I know that, it doesn’t help when I really feel like this and it seems like this won’t end. But I do know that it will end and I’m almost at the end of when I should be feeling like this. And I can’t wait for it to be over so I can move on.
