Humm honestly when I'm sick I like to be left alone so I can sleep...

Same after having surgery just let me go home and leave me be so I don't feel as if I have to entertain anyone or feel as if I'm ignoring them..

I can rest best when I'm alone well just me and my dog that is..bigsmile


^^^same here Ms. Kristi:smile:
Only I dont have a pet.
I can rest best alone with my music.



I normally do alright, but every time I'm a bit unwell .. I wished I had someone to cuddle up to, and I can feel really lonely. The silence can be deafening while normally it really doesn't bother me.
Thank goodness I'm not ill that often.

This is what makes us human.
This is why we need to interact with people,
no matter how independent we are.

This is what reminds us,
that no matter how successful we are
in our chosen career and
how convenient it is
for us to live alone,
There are always times,
we will always sometimes wish,
we have someone who can lead us
and strong enough for us
to keep us safe..

At the end of the day,
it will always just be,
what it is - a wish:)

When I'm not feeling well,
I prefer absolute solitude.

The weird thing is I don't think that I've ever been really seriously ill when single. (Don't jinx it, Angel, knock on wood!!) Not the kind of ill where you run a fever, can barely move and need to rest/sleep all day long.

When I was living on my own when 21, my first partner moved in, and within a week I got a real bad cold or flu. Running a fever and all. But then I had him to look after me when he got back from work.
But it was odd, as if my body had waited with getting ill until there was someone around to help me out.

i have been ill lately and off work for 3 months, hence why i spent so much time on here!

it does get a bit lonely, especially when you have a lot of free time and not a lot to do with or no one to spend it with.

but i guess you get used to it after so long?

i hoped i could maybe find companionship on here while i was off sick,but sadly, not to be.

oh my am I the only one that likes to be left alone under my blankets to sleep it off?
I don't like anyone fusing over me when all I want is quiet and sleep.

All I do ask is they leave the house clean so when I do get up I don't have to face the mess.

when they are sick it's a different story. I take special care of them and try to make them smile but I will give them their rest time.

Even when I was a small child, I didn't want to be bothered when I was sick. I just wanted to be left alone. I am still that way today. Don't offer me anything, don't talk to me, don't try to pet me!! grumble

Luckily, I am rarely ill.

I wonder how I will be on my deathbed???spock

When I'm ill, I'm on the settee with a blanket. Even when on my own. Don't want to be upstairs in bed, that makes me feel even worse. When I'm in the living room, I get a sense of normalcy, which helps me.

As a kid ... I wasn't sick that often, my sister was because of her epilepsy. That ate of up a lot of my mom's time, so I missed out on a lot of "mom time" during my childhood because of that. My sister and I didn't get along too well, so that didn't help either.
She always got the perks that came with being sick as a kid. You know, nice soup, sweets, cake and that very expensive peach juice that mom only bought when someone was ill. And she got that a lot. I hardly ever did, cos I wasn't sick that often.
So in a way I was almost happy when I did get ill, cos then I'd get the perks, and more attention from my mom too. And that expensive oh-so delicious juice!

May sound like I was envious, but as a young child you don't really understand, and even if you do understand it's not nice that the family always evolves around a sick sibling. Everything we could or couldn't do as a family, always depended on her.

I've seen that happen more often, ppl having children, one having an ailment, eating up everyone's attention, and the healthy one really suffering because of that. They often get completely neglected. Always P me O when I spot that. Because I know what it's like.

I don't actually feel I need a man to make me feel better, when i get ill. Especially if I get ill with my stomach. That's the worst time for ANYONE to come near me. laugh
