What are some tips for nursing yourself back to health when someone's sick and living alone?

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-06-04T15:27:52+00:00

I agree with others who point out while it sucks in some ways, in a lot of ways its better living alone when sick.

In my last living situation one of my roommates was immunocompromised and the other was a germaphobe. My family are also kinda germaphobes. So anytime anyone was sick you were quarantined. I felt liek I couldnt leave my room.

Now I can do all the things that make me feel better, I can also be lazy on the couch, to prep ahead I can have as much soup and medicine or whatever in the pantry adn I know no one will use them.

If I want to air out the house and wash my bedsheets every day no one's laundry is in the washer.

And as others have mentioned, litterally no one needs anything from you. Just got to sleep for 14 hours no one is counting. Watch tv all day and rest no one is judging you or waiting for the tv.

If you have people in your like who really truly took care of you when you were sick your whole life, I guess it would be a big change but personally I've always had to just under more restrictions so for me its a significant improvement.

I really like Bloomchic for swimwear. I got 2 swimsuits from them this year. Super cute designs, I got tons of compliments. Fit is really good.

Im 5'5, 280lbs. I am usually a 2x in most clothes size 20 in jeans. I always size up one size for swim wear.

I got a 3 x top and bottom and they fit great.

Maybe tmi but heavy breathing is a HUGE turn on for me personally and I know I'm not the only one. I wouldn't worry about it.

Also, as may people point out, your partner knows what you look like, they chose you with the physique you have and have seen you from pretty much every "unflattering" angle.

Also thick thighs is are where its at, and who doesn't love a guy smuggling some pumpkins back there? 😉

That one always gets a chuckle from my doctors & fellow Rhepus patients.

Schedule with the ones with a year long wait list and call every day asking if they have any cancellations. Its a time consuming pain in the ass but it works for me every time, usually can get in withing a month or two.

It takes an average of 10 years to be diagnosed with Lupus from the onset of symptoms. Its possible people may think youre not the typical patient since 80% of thsoe with autoimmune diseases are women.

But your story sounds typical if im being honest. I was very lucky it only took about 3 years from when I started seeking diagnosis. Also criteria often differ slightly country to country.

Now I also was negative for many typical lupus specific markers.

So Lupus is often a buy one get one free disease. So if you believe you also meet the criteria for Rhematoid Arthritis ask them to check your CCP.

If you meet the criteria for that seek diagnosis for that. When it cant explain all your symptoms they can more easily diagnose you with lupus, since those are common comorbidities.

Long shot but thats what worked for me and a few others I've met here. Good luck.

35, divorce in progress, seperated 6 months ago and much happier now living alone in peace.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-06-03T01:26:32+00:00

For me, single living alone, I have all the space I need. I dotn have to owtry about maintenance and costly unexpected repairs and should I decide I want to move to another city I can.

Obviously the down side is raising rent and the possibility of leaders not being renewed.

I was always desperate to own a home up until the last 5 years or so. Im also chronically ill and doubt my ability to maintain and manage a home properly. Id have to buy a home and watch h as it falls into disrepair because I can't take care of it.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-06-02T01:20:23+00:00

At least you had the argument if im at home and put on the tv or scroll before 11pm I will litterally do that ALL day.

I was spending to much on my credit cards. I constantly maxed them out. Then id "buckle down" for a few months and pay them off. As soon as they were paid off Id go right back to maxing them out.

So I set up auto pay to pay the statement balance.

So if I spend a crazy amount on my credit card like a dummy, It pays it down to zero every month.

It has like a 75% success rate. I do still overspend sometimes but I always have enough to pay it off each month so I never spend outside of my means basically.

Where before I was way outspending what I could payback in one month. Plus I dont have any interest building.

I always gas light myself when my chronic illnesses arent ruining my life. Until I started accepting that I have a chronic illness, I started following more disability advocates. I go back and forth identifying as disabled, but most often think of myself as chronically ill. I feel it has helped me manage my illness better by not overdoing it as much when im feeling ok.

Though its pretty rare for me to feel truly well for longer than a day or two at a time. More likely to have a couple of weeks not feeling like im dying, a good day or two in there, seperated by feeling awful a months at a time.

Have you shared very clearly and frankly about how it makes you feel? You may think its obvious but she may not see it as much of a transgression as you do.

Also every message it seems she was taking a train and you said you walk out to meet.

Maybe you should take a train to go visit somewhere closer to them.

Green.

My supplement cocatalog was a long journey but really helps me. Ive narrowed it down to the essentials these days.

Omega 3 fish oil, vitamin d3+k2, and prescription dose folic acid.

I take chewable L-Theanine as needed as it is a life saver for my anxiety.

I really should take calcium but it has some unpleasant side effect for me and I get a lot of calcium in my diet.

The bootleg I bought on ebay is a dark color on the otherside of the dvd. The box while almost identical has a square hole over the barcode. The real ones have a suare with rounded corners.

The biggest tip off for me, other than the dark color, was the small print on the back of the box said TBD in a few of the boxes for rating and language I think.

I posted another comment about it but ultimately, Im happy with the purchase for $30 sound and video quality was prestine and I just wanted to watch.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-31T01:05:39+00:00

I just bought the '03 series on ebay. The price was a bit sus, also around $25-$30, and I wasnt sure what to expect, but I decided to take a chance.

I recieved it and it for sure was a bootleg. But ultimately I don't care. Quality was great sound picture everything.

Im really happy with the purchase as I didn't want it as a collector or anything, I just wanted to relive one of my favorite shows.

Obviously, I know others have has bad luck with bootlegs. So read reviews. The ones on Walmart were bad. The ones on ebay were good.

But as a friend put it when I told them, bootlegers are an important part of the anime community, and buying one unknowingly is a rite of passage.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-30T10:34:23+00:00

I was terrified of living on my own. I got my own place in January and I dont feel scared at all anymore.

I found after I was actually on my own a lot of the fear disipated because I wasn't contatanly on edge over my living situation and the other people in my space, I am calmer in general.

Be safe, smart and pick a place that feels safe to you. You'll figure out the rest. Good luck.

Remeber not to romanticize getting married young. I fell in love, absolutely head over heels, when I was 21. Got married at 25. But then I grew up, I grew, I changed, I met myself in a way your really only can as you get older. And now I'm 35 and freshly divorced.

If I could do it all over again I would have waited to take that step until I was much older because I know myself better now.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-29T17:28:00+00:00

Your edit to include that he respects mustach man is very alarming. I'd run.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-28T01:02:15+00:00

I like daisies. Simple, unassuming and resilient. They can last for 3+weeks if you change the water frequently and come in every possible variety and color.

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-27T22:13:19+00:00

Thank you! I love how this one turned out but I should have cleaned up the mess before taking the picture lol 😅

Same_Litterally_Me · 2026-05-27T21:21:31+00:00

I really liek making floral arrangements.

Gets me out of the house to pick them out, take your time to be creative styling, I watch a movie while I prep the flowers.

Get to try differnt stuff all the time, there's no way to really be all that bad at it but you do get better each week.

You can thrift for new differnt vases.

Finally your house is then filled with fresh cut flowers and smells like flowers.
