Can you "think" yourself well when you are sick?

You do have to keep a positive attitude.  It does make a difference on our health.

This may sound bizarre and unrelated, but here is something I did once when I was really sick and alone.  It made me feel better and it might help with emotional pain, too.\n\nI separated my sick , scared, lonely "child self" from my insightful, strong, wise "adult self" and used my adult self to take care of my child self.  \n\nYour "adult self" probably has lots of insight into what you went through when you were younger and have "processed" it many times during your therapy.  It's just that all the bad feelings and hurt are still there, despite all the insight you have.  This is your child-self that needs comfort.  The feelings are just still there, what can you do?  They just are.  Just like how when I was sick a part of me knew I was going to be okay and knew what was going on physically, but another part of me was scared and feeling bad.\n\nWhat I did was I imagined my adult and confident side taking care of my sick child side.  I literally visualized taking care of myself when I was little.\n\nMaybe you could do something similar to this.  A part of you is really strong and maybe you just need to "access" it by contrasting what you learned in therapy with how you felt when you were little.\n\nThis might seem crazy to some, but it's a trick that worked for me once...

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

You "can"...\n\nEmotional stress starts to drag down the immune system and when that occurs,  you start becoming vulnerable to illnesses quite easily.  \n\nStart taking vitamins and mineral suppliments so that you wont be dragged down that much, and try to relieve the stress that is affecting you as much as possible...\n\nAlso, take time out for yourself, like a soothing hot bath and relax for an hour or so...  Its not only stress relaxing but good for the mind and body too...\n\nMeditation is a great relaxer also...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

Here is my perfect sick day!\nI would try to sleep as much as possible!I would also make some Cambell's chicken noodle soup and cuttle up on the couch and watch my favorite movie in the dark. I like to scrapbook so i would try to work on that if i had enough had enough energy to. I hope you feel better!!

You may want to hydrate yourself before going in. Sweating looses a lot of water. If you get in without drink some, you could pass out before you realize you are sick. Drink at least 8 oz but probably more. Take time to relax, like 15-30 minutes, while you drink and make sure the water is not very cold. The more tepid the water is the easier it will digest without making you feel like a water balloon.

You would have broken up even if you weren't sick.. She was honest with you and obviously she doesn't wish to support you in your bad times. You must feel very bad now. I think it's better like this, because if she was supporting you, she wouldn't have been honest with you..(and she would break up when you feel better)..Try to search the support of your friends and family or even a psychotherapists. \n\nI'm sorry to hear you're ill - have you considered to start with macrobiotics?

I'm sorry to hear about your illness, but happy about your recovery. Have you dug out your old "100 things to do before I die" list? That's the best place to start. Good luck.

Get a shot glass full of whisky(any kind, like rum), add taplespoon or two of lemon juice, tablespoon of honey, stir it up, heat in microwave till warm but not hot, drink it down before bedtime.  That's what I take when I'm really sick.

Depends.  What do you mean by sick?\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Just tell them that you don't feel good and that you are running a fever. It doesn't matter where you work really.  Unfortunately now these days, employers don't really believe when a person is ACTUALLY sick because it has been outplayed so many times.

If that's really true- you can change that.\n\nYou sound depressed and that's ok. I am too. When I start thinking like you I only get more depressed. Positive action is the only thing you can do to feel better and don't wait to feel better before you start. Let's both not think about dying and think about living tonight. Let's think of something positive we can do tommorow

You know you have a problem if it makes it hard to function in your day-to-day tasks.  Is is a problem or merely an inconvenience?  If it is a problem then seek professional help.\n\nThere are things you can do, though, to calm yourself down.  You can learn relaxation techniques like muscle relaxation or deep breathing.  You do this in your spare time and then use the skills when you're in stressful situations.  \n\nYou're afraid of something.  A professional can help you with this or you can work through it yourself.  If you're like me or most people, then you slowly work through this kind of thing.  The sickness feels serious but eventually you find that it isn't.  The more you are cool with it the easier it is to cope.  Hope that helps.

You have to have a pretty impressive immune system then again if you got sick odvicously you don't have one but you can try masking it for just enough time that no one will notice once you are healthy again what I am trying to say is more then likely you won't get rid of it Oh this will help drink liquids, and get lots of rest trust me!
