Be happy if you woke up today and your throat didn’t hurt.

Me eating something spicy: “I’ll fucking do it again!”
Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Me, later: Why does it hurt? Oh god I think I have food poisoning. Is this diarrea?
Nope, just the spiciness I forgot about.

Every night before I go to bed I do a mental health exercise where I list 3 things I was thankful for that day. It’s a habit that is supposed to make you appreciate the good things and help get past the bad. On unremarkable or bad days the list is that I wasn’t in constant/chronic pain, that I got to eat and drink all that I wanted, and that the day is over and I’m in bed and statistically very safe. It may not seem like much on bad days, but if you’ve ever been missing one or more of those 3 things then you know it’s a HUGE set of problems.

This is a very very good habit to have. It does wonders for mental health including reducing existential dread and depression. It’s not a silver bullet but it helps tremendously.
I try to remember whenever something bad is happening to me like a cold, or getting laid off, I’m grateful to not be a victim of genocide or taken as POW in Russia. Hell, not having to be drafted in the military like Americans did in Vietnam.
Being grateful in the face of suffering is its own CBT

One of the best feelings I ever felt was laying in bed the night after a car accident earlier in the fay. It was enough of an accident that I was glad to reflect on it not being any worse, but it also wasn’t bad enough to injure anyone.
When I climbed into bed that night, I was seriously doing that thing dogs do when you take them outside and they flop and wallow around on the grass with their feet flailing carelessly in the air. That bed felt so damn good that night, and I try often to remind myself that it’s the same comfy and safe bed now that it was that day.

Ever since covid I get the influenza and covid vaccinations every season.
Totally unrelated I’m sure, but ever since I’ve been doing that (and washing my hands first thing when coming home) I haven’t been sick at all. No runny or clogged nose, no coughing or itching throat. No fevers, no throwing up, just pure, healthy bliss.
Get vaccinated people.
flicker@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I do those things too and want to add; washing your hands. It’s so damn simple. When I get off work, when I get home from being out, just washing my hands seems to have absolutely killed my constant battling sickness.
Walk in door, put down car keys, take off jacket or coat or cardigan or sweater, wash hands. Done. Haven’t been sick in ages.

This is a PSA Announcement:
An orgasm instantly clears out the sinuses. Due to lack of studies doctors don’t fully know why this happens.

Don’t work when you smoke weed.
I rarely smoke it (haven’t in at least 4 years), but when I do and sec happens, I can’t breathe and I end up totally stopped up for at least an hour.
I have allergies too though.
Cheesus@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
I guess the joke is on me, I’ve had a sinus infection or something for like a month so my nose is always either running, or clogged. Sometimes both at the same time!
SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
!Actually I’m sorry and hope this doesn’t come off as mean!<
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The feeling when you physically notice your cold improving, you can breathe through both nostrils, and you don’t feel fatigued and sore anymore is an amazing feeling.
yamanii@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’m gonna be sad now, thanks.
Tinidril@midwest.social 6 months ago
Me too. I’ve had a sinus headache for over 10 years straight. I don’t even remember what it’s like to not be congested. Three surgeries and more drugs than I ever knew existed have done nothing. Good health is definitely underappreciated.
theangryseal@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Me too. Allergies can kiss my nuts. I get a break like once every 6 months or so.
tanisnikana@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I wish I could use both hands, remember faces, and walk without a cane.
Of course, there is always someone who says they wish they could have both hands, be able to remember anything, and walk at all.
And there are people who have no limb who wish they could have one, and would long for any mobility at all.
I’m grateful for what I got, but in a true human sense, I want more.

I think about this every time I start to get sick.
WhyFlip@lemmy.world 6 months ago
What a stupid fucking post. I’m grateful every day I don’t have a runny nose or sore throat as I know how completely miserable I am when I do have either of those.

paddirn@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Everytime I get sick I think about this. “I am going to appreciate my life so much more when I’m not sick.” I appreciate not being sick for about five minutes before it just goes back to being whatever.
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
As someone who gets a runny nose every time I eat…
Dang
Zess@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Headaches too. Every time I get a bad headache I honestly forget what it feels like to not have one.
fl42v@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Idk, given a common cold is caused by viruses, simply limiting the exposure to them generally helps not having a runny nose. Soo, why not be pissed off that you have to be around humans instead

Have bad allergies, those days are not often. Also sucks because people always think I am sick but thankfully a dumb immune system is not contagious.
soloner@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’m just now getting over a cold that gave me the worst laryngitis of my life. It felt like I got punched in the throat some days. So I’m super grateful today to have most of my voice back. Swelling and inflammation is reduced. Even my cough which I thought would become bronchitis is fading. So grateful to be feeling well again after a week or this.

I had one yesterday! It hurt quite a bit. Now I don’t and I’m the kind of the world.

Aceticon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’ve lived in a couple of cities in Europe and I can tell you my nose was runny far more often in a poluted place like London (UK) than it is in the small city I live in now in Portugal or the places I lived in when in The Netherlands.
I suspect that the tendency to catch colds and suffer from alergies is often coupled with all the Sulfur Oxide gases around in cities with lots of car polution which turn into various sulfur oxiacids when those gases mix with water in the nose and airways.
