Being Sick SUCKS!!!

Not to state an obvious fact but being sick truly sucks. Not only do you feel like crap and have no energy, the medications one takes in hopes of recovering have their share of side-effects. I have been sick for what now seems like forever and most of this time I have felt like I’m truly buzzed. I don’t know if it’s really ‘buzzed’ as I have had no exposure to drugs but it’s what I would describe this feeling of being out of it with the world. One goes through the day simply existing most of the times; not really being impacted by what’s going on around them. I wonder if this separation of the mind from our immediate environment is part of our body’s defensive mechanism to protect ourselves as we are not physically or emotionally capable of dealing with it while being sick.
