I don’t like being sick

I have a fever, congested nose. I can’t breathe out my nose, a dry cough. My body is aching like what the hell is going on and I’ve never had Covid so I don’t know what it feels like.

2025/1/18 Edited to

Experiencing sickness can be challenging, especially when symptoms like fever and congestion set in. It's essential to hydrate and rest, as these are key to recovery. Home remedies such as herbal teas or saline nasal sprays can help alleviate nasal congestion. Additionally, over-the-counter medications may provide relief from symptoms like dry cough and body aches. Consider creating a soothing environment: dim lights, soft blankets, and your favorite comfort foods. Don't hesitate to consult a healthcare professional if symptoms worsen or persist. Taking care of your mental health during sickness is equally important—enjoying light entertainment or keeping in touch with loved ones can help lift your spirits. Remember, it's okay to take a sick day and prioritize your health!

Being sick forced me to confront something I don’t think we talk about

enough for high-achieving students with ADHD. It’s not the physical symptoms that are most frustrating. It’s the disconnect between a mind that still wants to run at full speed and a body that has completely shut down. I’d open my laptop thinking I could do something small, then sit there una
