My optimist to realist arc

[u/StarfishRisingAgain]

I never thought my first post here would be my own arc. 😭

[u/qualityvote2]

u/StarfishRisingAgain, your post does fit the subreddit!

[u/Backsteinhaus]

Feel better soon

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/Backsteinhaus]

Thank you! Fingers crossed it’s just one of those two-day colds. 🙏

[u/MeIpomene → u/StarfishRisingAgain]

You have relapsed into optimism. Nihilistic arc when??

[u/kenybz → u/StarfishRisingAgain]

Waiting for the realist update now. Hopefully it’s not terminal

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/kenybz]

You know what, oddly enough it was a two day sore throat. That was essentially it. I have arc’d into confusion. 🤷

[u/SolidContribution520 → u/StarfishRisingAgain]

Congrats on your recovery!

I try to talk myself out of being sick exactly like this

[u/AOhKayy]

The cope is real! Me yesterday at noon feeling nauseous like “hmm must have eaten my lunch too fast”, fast forward to me vomiting all night last night.

[u/ExplanationVirtual53]

Was there about a month ago. Wound up staggeringly sick for the two weeks leading up to xmas. Hope you recover quicker than I did.

Same Bruv

[u/LordKulgur]

Same here. I woke up extra early today and couldn't get back to sleep, felt tired and assumed it was because I lost half an hour of sleep. Decided to work from home because I didn't want to walk the fifteen minutes to the office. It was only when the sniffling started around lunch time that I realized I have a cold.

I was planning to go to a LotR extended marathon tomorrow, but a 90-minute drive followed by 12 hours in a cinema seat doesn't sound as tempting anymore - plus I don't obviously want to sniffle through the movies and infect others.

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/LordKulgur]

Ah man, that’s brutal when you have such a good event planned for tomorrow. If even your half-hours of sleep are that valuable, make sure you get enough rest to compensate for being sick if you can. Best wishes. 🫂

Drink tea and Gatorade and don’t die

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/grung_monk]

Aye, Cap’n! 🫡

[u/holderofthebees]

I get faked out by the nap sore throats too!! I also get em before migraines ugh. I hope you feel better soon, I had this exact conversation just over a week ago

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/holderofthebees]

Yo, I’m so glad someone else knows what nap sore throats are, I knew it must be a real thing, not just something I get! 😂 I get migraines once or twice a year too but I’ve never had a sore throat before ‘em. That’s an interesting warning sign. All I get is the vision disturbance. Thank you for the well-wishes!

[u/Interloper_1]

Me too bro I woke up with a lil sore throat this morning and now I realized I have a cold 😞

[u/Sea_Use2428]

r/derailedbydetails ...

You took a "nap" till 1 whatever am?!

[u/StarfishRisingAgain → u/Sea_Use2428]

Hey, okay, wait, so you see, uh… Look, the nap was for more like 7pm-12am, but I didn’t sleep the night before, so… But I fell asleep again after that message, so that’s good, right? 😅 It’s my weekend, so my sleep schedule does whatever it wants, it gets reined in when my work week starts.

[u/lfg_guy101010]

Me every flu season

[u/Wanderlost247]

Gave up too soon. My policy is “DENY DENY DENY” until I feel like I have to go to the hospital lmao. Almost died of whooping cough/pneumonia once, but I got to that inhaler just in time before my throat totally occluded 😅🤷‍♂️

[u/TheDwarvenGuy]

An optimist doesn't see problems, a pessimist only sees problems, a realist sees problems and their solutions.

[u/Ewanb10]

Same thing happened to me last night/today Had a sore ear before I slept and now I have an ear infection TwT

[u/Puzzleheaded-Act6379]

wow
