Health and going out

Billy87

So for the last month and a half I have been very ill and my body has just been through one thing after another. First I had hand foot and mouth disease with a fever and boils all over my hands and feet, then I had another fever, then a tooth abscess, and now a very painful tooth infection and Covid.

The thing is cos of the Covid I havnt left my house in over a week and the thought of leaving the house, particulary while Im still in tooth pain (which is a huge sensory thing for me) when I havnt left the house in so long is really overwhelming. Im not sure Ill be able to do it, just want to hide away

Im supposed to start a new job Monday too and its a really demanding job that I havnt done before. Its all a bit too much

  • Thank you for these comments, they are so kind and make me feel really listened to and understood. Sometimes just posting here about stuff is such a help and such a release.

    You are both right I need to take things as slowly as I can and give my body and mind as much time as I can to recover, thats the most important thing 

  • I’ve just read this and wanted to say, although it doesn’t really do much, that I am thinking of you during this difficult patch. Things occasionally cluster together like this and make an already difficult thing much more challenging. I find posting in this place to be a huge help, so please keep turning to the community wherever you need to. Like out_of_step, I just wanted to reply to let you know that you’ve been heard. Take care of yourself and try to just take things at a pace that allows your health to return.

  • BillyC87 I don't know what to say but it sounds like you have been through a lot recently and take time to do what your body needs to do to recover. It also sounds a lot on top of starting a new job. I hope you are better soon. I don't know what else to say but felt I wanted to acknowledge your post.
