When you are ill it is much harder to manage your emotions. It is important to make adjustments in order to care for yourself and minimize your stress as best as possible.
Allow yourself time to feel ill and be aware of your emotions. It is natural to be more irritable because you do not feel well. However, this is an opportunity to figure out and practice what works best for you when you are ill. Also if you make extra efforts to care for your psychological health during your medical challenge you will facilitate the healing process.
Ideas might include: alone time, do something you have no time to do when you are busy with your regular routine, like organize files or drawers, read a book, listen to music, meditate, plan holidays or your next vacation. Make yourself as comfortable as possible and utilize your support system. Allow other to take care of you and your responsibilities. It is OK. then show your appreciation.
You can be ill and miserable or you can be ill and be not so miserable ...that is up to you but the later will help you get better sooner.
Bottom line take good care of you...you deserve it !
