Today is day 7

Well today is day 7. It will be complete at 630pm.
I definitely feel better today than yesterday.
Yesterday was tough. It was my first day back at work and it was a looooonnnggg day.
Today is a little busier and I'm feeling a little better.
The chills are fewer and farther between and the body aches are a bit less. I'm starting to see some normalcy.
This gives me hope

Thanks everyone !
I'm doing okay today. Having a wave of bad right now. It's cold here in Texas today...coldest day yet. But I think I need to get outta the house. Maybe I will.
Hard to distract yourself when stuck inside cuz of cold.

Congratulations on your seven going on eight days! How are you doing today? The mental is very rough! Can you put a headphone in while at work? Music really helped keep my mind busy. You are doing so GREAT! Be proud of yourself because you are doing this!

I too just finished my 7th day...all is good but the nighttime. I still am having a very difficult time falling asleep, can't get comfortable at all trying. Do you take anything to get to sleep. I've been taking a couple of Tylenol pm's but they don't seem to do anything. Congrats on day 7! Great job!!!

It's not ok unless you just like being in misery . Try to defocus and watch a movie or do something else besides thinking. Don't throw away your hard earned time. that 7 days you have is huge. There are tons of people out there wishing they had 7 days !..... but they don't .....You do though....keep em

Nothing specific. Just the physical is coming in waves still. So I'll feel ok for a bit then feel really bad. It's just back and forth. And then the mental on top of it.
Just my mind trying to figure out every which way to get some pills. There's always a way...always. My mind is going crazy trying to rationalize how and why it's ok.

Thank you!
I'm trying to stay busy and focused at work.
I'm certainly have different waves of feeling bad/good.  
Can't wait for it to settle out.
Still having some mental struggles.
My mind just won't stop thinking about those darn things. Ugh!
