In the first place, I feel too lethargic and feverish and all-over bleh to do much. Additionally, I tend to be even more cranky and irritable than usual, so I am prone to making harsh, angry snap decisions that inevitably turn out badly. Plus, I feel so congested and muddle-headed that I cannot think or reason.<\/p>\n<p>Some sources say to &#8220;just suck it up and keep going&#8221; when you&#8217;re sick. I have learned that the keep moving approach does not work for me. By doing nothing, yes, I am not making progress or I am even falling behind in what I would like to accomplish. However, if I try to do things, even small things, when I&#8217;m sick I end up making mistakes or poor decisions that set me back even further than I would be had I done nothing.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am, Day Five of Being Sick, feeling as though I may never recover.
