Feeling depressed...

[Chloesnavy]

As you all know I've been suffering with an ongoing kidney infection now for almost two months. I've been on antibiotic after antibiotic and it's not shifting. For the last week I've been on the wrong one, so now I'm on a different course...
the thing is, none of my family or bf seem to understand how **** I feel. I work from home, I paint, but I've felt so ****** to have any motivation to paint anything recently. I painted something at the weekend, but that's it. They're all moaning at me to work and make money etc. I feel so drained and I just keep crying...anyone else feel this way. I feel like they just think I'm being lazy, or putting it on. It's making me feel worse tbh.

Speak to them @Chloesnavy Explain how bad you're feeling and tell them that it's upsetting you the way they keep pushing you to work. It may be that they think they're helping (ie trying to take your mind off being ill) or perhaps they don't realsie how rough you're feeling.

Tell them and explain that you're really not feeling yourself.

Sorry to hear this @Chloesnavy I know you're going through the mill at the moment but as Azure has said please speak to your nearest and dearest for a heart to heart, you will get better at some point but feeling low isn't going to help you get better any sooner, try and get out for some walks and exercise if you can and get the endorphins released, it will help you in your recovery in the long term and take care hun

when having a kidney infection I think you need rest and only pure water and a little healthy food ...

Can´t you get your doctor to demand you to rest and have the right to be a patient when you are in fact seriously ill.. ?

a kidney infection is being really ill.

when you get well and earn money from your paintings, then remember to save some for your ill-periods in the future, then you can tell your boyfriend and family that you have an off-period and you pay for it yourself
