be proud of yourself. Getting out of bed is a struggle sometimes. taking care of yourself is hard. keeping clean, staying motivated, recovering, finishing a task, finishing a meal. Every day you accomplish so much. Value your accomplishments, and don’t let others belittle them. You are doing a very good job. I am proud of you.
It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”
the fact that lights don’t start flickering ominously and short-circuiting whenever i’m upset is maximally unsexy and not at all excellent if you ask me
