15 things I hate about being sick

Hi all, I have a bad cold right now (which is why I missed writing yesterday), so I'm cheating again. I don't think I can focus for 15 minutes so I'm just going to write 15 things I hate about being sick.

1. I'm so tired. Just all the time. I think I slept most of the day yesterday, then slept for like 14 hours last night, and I'm still exhausted.
2. I can't decide what temperature I want to be. I'm too hot and then I'm too cold and then I sweat through all of my clothes so I want to change them, but if I get out from under the covers then I'll freeze.
3. I have to constantly blow my nose. This makes me feel gross and ends up scraping my nose so much that it makes it pink,
4. I have trouble breathing. Like I forget that this is a thing I can struggle with because I mostly just do it without thinking. But noooo, when I'm sick I get to remember the struggle.
5. I feel lonely. I don't think I'm the only one who gets this way, but I just start to feel very alone when I'm sick. I wish I had someone here to keep me company, but then they'd get sick.
6. I miss my mom. I think this is a pretty universal one, right?
7. I feel gross. Some of this is from blowing my nose, some is from the sweating, and some of it is because I can be too tired to stand up in the shower. Just all around bad times
8. I only have energy to make soup. It's not that soup is bad, it's just that you can only eat it for so long before starting to be annoyed.
9. I live for the next time I can take meds. Boy do I hate having to keep an eye on the time just so I can know when next I can take meds. But that's my life. Can't exceed 4 sachets of lemsip in a day, can only take ilvico 3 times a day, and gotta wait 4 hours in between doing my inhaler. Fun math to do when you're exhausted.
10. I feel pathetic. Being so tired means I can't do basic things like unpack my purse from the night before which means that I then feel very pathetic since I can't even do the basics.
11. My skin sometimes feels too sensitive to touch. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes parts of my skin kind of hurt when I touch them. What a bad time,
12. Talking is hard. To counteract my loneliness, you'd think I'd just call someone. But no! Talking is too hard for that so here I sit, alone and unable to call a loved one.
13. I can't lie down comfortably. I normally curl up on one side when I try to get some rest, but I can't do that when I'm sick because I constantly have to switch sides because I can feel the mucus build up one side otherwise. Sorry, that was super gross.
14. Not a lot of food sounds appealing. I can only manage to make myself/buy myself a very small amount of things and even fewer of those are appealing.
15. I'm not sure when I'll be 100% again. Now this cold probably won't last too long, but it's hard to tell when I'll be 100% again.
