just want to know I’m okay and not alone

[Daisy425]

I’m so sorry for all of my posts. I don’t mean to be annoying. It just helps me to be able to share my feelings.

I’m feeling better today. My throat isn’t as swollen and I decided I’m going to stop taking mucinex only because I’ve been taking it so much I think it’s starting to upset my stomach. The eye drops have been helping my pink eye. Originally my boyfriend was going to come over but something came up, and I would feel bad if he came and had to deal with me like this.

My stomach is a little upset and I can’t tell if it’s my anxiety or if Im sick. I’ve been sick for a week, so realistically I know it’s probably very unlikely that I’d now develop an upset stomach from this. And I know I’ve been feeling anxious about the doctor saying if my sore throat continues I should get tested for mono. I’m trying to tell myself I most likely don’t have mono as now my sore throat is going away. I’m trying to eat but it’s hard. At 5am I had some crackers, and I just had a granola bar. I’ve been drinking Gatorade. I don’t want to throw up.

When I’m like this I really just want my mom. Something about being with her calms my nerves especially when I’m upset or sick. But I don’t know if she’ll let me come and spend the night because of my pink eye. It says after 24 hours of antibiotics it’s not contagious, and that would be in like three hours. I guess it doesn’t hurt to ask her.

im sorry for this long rant. Thank you if you took the time to read it.. I don’t have anything in particular that I’m asking. I just needed to not feel alone. Any response is greatly appreciated. I am so incredibly thankful for this community.

Howdy Daisy, I hope your recovery accelerates. I also hope that you can understand that people get sick, and you can let others help you. Let your boyfriend try to talk you into eating some soup or giving you a foot rub. Wouldn't you want to try to help him if the roles were reversed? I don't know the seriousness of your relationship, but I think that one part of self-care that is really not mentioned enough is allowing others to help us and asking for help.☮️

Everyone just wants their mom when they get scared

I hope you're feeling better as the day wears on. I am recovering from covid and feeling better each day. All I have left is a stuffy nose. I was thinking the same as you the other day... I want my Mom. Whenever I feel sick I just want my Mom. Unfortunately my Mom passed away so I can't have her to help me. Maybe you could just call your Mom on the phone and talk. Would that make you feel better?

I do think that most people don't like to be alone & ill. However, I think that most people won't Panic when Alone & ill --talking about myself re. Panicking when ill & Alone. And, since my Mom & Sig. Other passed, I really have No one to count on if ill & Alone. But, while you still have your Mom, or other to call on when ill, or to stay with them, or them with you DO so! I used to "run" to my Mom's when ill & I was middle aged, and older. I took care of my Mom over the years, and took care of my Sig. Other. Was taken care of when he was alive & I needed him. We, all, need someone, at times, and that's okay --Pretty lonely world if we can't help each other. Sending healing vibs your way!

I'm that way to when I get sick or in pain. In fact I had a surprise period cramp in the early morning hours. Usually on my first day of my cycle, I get a cramp but as long as I take ibuprofen every 6hrs, I'm good. It's usually over by the evening. But I had a surprise period cramp and it hurt like hell. I cried and took some ibuprofen and had to wait for it to kick in. Meanwhile I'm trying not to panic but all I could think about is wanting to be with my mom. Moms somehow make the pain a little scarier and able to tolerate it better. But seeing how it was 3am. I didn't want to call her and wake her up. I just snuggle my blanket and reassured myself and had the heating pad on. Then I fell asleep.

Nobody likes throwing up. I have a fear of vomiting. That stems from childhood trauma as a child when I would get anxious in the cafeteria at school.

The tummy ache could be from anxiety. I get an upset stomach when I'm anxious. Sometimes antibiotics especially cause it's take with food. And you don't eat a little something and take the antibiotics could give ya a little heartburn. But I'm sure you're okay. Sounds like you are on the mend. Just follow up with the antibiotics until finished. Pink eye sucks, several years back I had a terrible case. I to do drops in my eye and a warm eye patch for the pain. Ugh.

And, I, too get white coat syndrome (afraid of doctors) I'm afraid of hearing bad news. But I have been improving in that department.

I wishing you healing and love 🫂❤️
