I’ve had it with being sick. I’m over it. Doneso. Finito!
I am a very grateful person. I appreciate everything I have. Like most people, I didn’t come out of the womb a grateful person. About 10 years ago I was in a car accident that left me with a new outlook on life and a new appreciation for life. But I have been sick for over 3 months now and I am getting to the point where I can’t fight the depression that comes along with not feeling well, anymore.
I could handle not feeling good for a month or so but 3 months of feeling lethargic, in pain, and scared.. it’s taking a toll on me. It started in late December and I haven’t felt normal since. I was on meds for a double ear infection and bronchitis in January, two strong meds for the lymph node issue I’m dealing with now, for 21 days in February, and during that time I also had a mild Pneumonia and a Staff infection. Then only a week later (now) I get Strep. What gives? I understand that my body is just worn out and I hate taking anti-biotics so often but I don’t know what else to do. I’m not asking for medical advice. Just venting I suppose.
I have a business to run, two kids to care for and play with, and a home to keep clean. I really don’t know how to keep up with it all and get the rest I need, to recover.
How do you stay positive when you’ve been sick for a long period of time?
