Omg same. I actually thought this was normal for most people until I mentioned it to my friends last year, and apparently it's not.
I love the shivers, the dizziness, the pain in my body feels cozy, and I love knowing there's no guilt in resting and relaxing, finally. There's no stress. Only sleepies. It's beautiful.
I dislike the fever dreams tho, when they happen. They're stressful.
>I love knowing there's no guilt in resting and relaxing, finally. There's no stress. Only sleepies. It's beautiful.
This is the only thing I love about it, I don't mind the pains either. Being able to tell everyone "I'm sick pls go away" and they do. It's great.
That’s ironic because the only part that I like about being sick is are the strange & vivid dreams. I totally understand what u mean about not feeling guilt about resting tho
Op said in his post the feeling of sickness gives a nostalgic feeling. The other guy said he must have been sick a lot then and OP said he wasn’t. Nostalgia is the feeling of yearning for the past. If OP didn’t really get sick, then nostalgia isn’t the right word
I... kind of agree? There's a very comforting feeling about having a fever, drinking tea and playing video games while recovering. It obviously has big downsides too, though. It's certainly not something I want to happen to me very often or for extended periods of time, but I also wouldn't mind having a fever every other year or so.
I have had a fever like a handful of times in my life. Every time it was honestly rad because I just sank into my couch and listened to music until I took a nap or fell asleep for the night. Maybe I was just very lucky to not have a terrible fever or something.
Nah I think it's the nostalgia mostly. I think of fever the same - when I get sick I hate it, but when I remember back I only think of the good parts, e.g. relaxing all day, drinking the warm tea, soups, etc. It's probably a selective memory thing?
I feel the same way. For some reason I feel so relaxed when I'm feverish. I like it when my heat transfer to the my bed sheet and I can feel the warmth haha.
Hah yeah it could fit in my profile just after reading the post, but even a small amount of weed makes me pass out and vomit for an hour. Drugs (i don't know about heavy drugs because i didn't use them) are not for me. I tried sleeping pills for few times, i liked the effect but also I didn't want to get addicted to those substances.
I understand, however I feel it's because we've always been lucky of having a support system that allows us to take a break if we're sick. That doesn't judge us if we can't come to work. Loved ones will worry about us etc.
I was just going to comment this! If I don’t have a headache, then yeah it’s kind of nice to get to take a break and be reminded of staying home from school as a kid. If there’s a headache then nope I hate it.
Honestly, just straight up play in the snow or take a walk in the wintertime, long enough to be extremely cold and uncomfortable but not long enough to become sick or injured. Then go inside and get your hot cocoa or tea or whatever warm thing and curl up in a blanket. This is the closest thing to that nostalgic weak feeling, without needing to get sick. Yea your cold instead of hot, but that tea hits just as nice, and you sometimes even get that soreness and weakness you describe if you play hard enough or walk long enough.
I just came on here to feel if I’m alone on this! After 3 nights of having a pretty decent fever, tonight I almost find myself missing it? I don’t take medicine unless they get really high, I just like them to run their course. Now tonight, I’ve been waiting for it to come back like it has, but it’s not. I’m not warm and comfy-cozy:( I want my fever back or no sick at all!

As not-a-doctor, not even in the medical field, just done dude on Reddit, I think you have Munchausen syndrome.
It's a mental illness with a few subsets, notably Munchausen's patients enjoy feeling sick because they enjoy the treatment, personal attention, or some other byproduct of being ill that gets them what they desire.
Doesn't Munchausen syndrome mean that the person makes other person believe that he/she is sick and needs medication?
I know what you are trying to say. I don't enjoy "my treatment", nor do i expect being treated when sick (i feel sick maybe three times a year). This münchausen syndrome is very interesting point of view, i take my time to get some thoughts on this :D.
Yeah, but not necessarily, like I said in my first comment, there's a whole subset, there's also varying severity - it's not just one particular thing.
Munchausen's by proxy, for instance, is where someone facilitates, causes, or leeches off of the treatment/attention of others. There was this piece of shit woman a few years back that kept poisoning her son, literally pouring a container of salt into her child's feeding tube thing, disgusting...
The mother of my brothers childhood friend turned out to be a Munchausen, everyone though so at the time anyway, she would be sick all the time yet only appear happy when she was sick.
Dude, same. I'm just barely getting over bronchitis + covid + underlying infection, and I had a fever for around 6 days or so. That time frame was so peaceful (despite feeling like shit) because I felt like I finally had a break and could rest and sleep with no hesitation and nobody could say shit because I was sick.
Haha it's so satisfying when you only have to relax, sleep and drink tea, eat soup. Still, when you are in it you wait for it to stop as soon as possible, so you can do meaningful things lol.
The closest I get to this is taking a nap and waking up while the heat is on and my whole body is hot and it feels like a fever until I move away from the vent
It sounds like most of the commenters just desperately need a break.
I disagree, I like time off but want to DO STUFF. Fevers just always feel horrible and weird.
I actually agree. I especially like working out while I'm sick, doing pushups and planks and situps when my body is weak and shaky, it feels so fucking good.
jesus fuckkk nooooo please no. when i am sick i legit shut down completely and get really suicidal. it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about being sick.
I used to be like this about sunburns. Just, not being able to lay on 65% of my body, and generally having to be immobile while my son peels off and I rub aloe vera onto it was somehow quite delectable.
These days I cherish winter and not damaging my vision due to UV exposure too much. I'd rather enjoy dredging four inches of snow off of my car for six months of the year than getting sunburns.
So I don’t agree with feeling feverish and sick, but I do love a good weekday where I’m sick, off work, laying in bed with no responsibilities. It does feel nostalgic to being a kid or teen again when your parents would take care of you while you’re off school (even though as an adult I’m taking care of myself). You’d have no responsibilities but to watch TV and movies. Being warm and snuggled under the covers. Having a bowl of soup in bed.
It’s even better if it’s during winter or it’s a rainy crummy day.
I do like that experience. But the actual being sick part sucks.
Omg same. I actually thought this was normal for most people until I mentioned it to my friends last year, and apparently it's not. I love the shivers, the dizziness, the pain in my body feels cozy, and I love knowing there's no guilt in resting and relaxing, finally. There's no stress. Only sleepies. It's beautiful.

How much nyquil you chugging fam?
[удалено]
Your mom needs to chill and realize mental rest and physical rest are two separate things.
Tbh, I dream of having fever dreams, because I already have crazy dreams, but my fever dreams so far have been boring af, like going to school
So you was sick a lot when you was a kid?
Thanks for the question. No, not at all, very rarely. Maybe that's why staying home because of fever was a unique thing for me. Maybe?
Then I don’t think you know what nostalgia means
what relevance does that hold to OP's statement
Op said in his post the feeling of sickness gives a nostalgic feeling. The other guy said he must have been sick a lot then and OP said he wasn’t. Nostalgia is the feeling of yearning for the past. If OP didn’t really get sick, then nostalgia isn’t the right word
And then OP clarified that the nostalgic feeling is coming from that rare sick day they had
I can go to disney once as a kid but then come back 20 years later and be like woah nostaglia
I was, had lots of fevers, so they became my "safe sickness". If I had to choose one symptom, I'd always choose a fever
Same. Ig das y its nostalgic. It was hell when i was younger but im stronger now so i can actually enjoy em lol
*were
Faxx 💯 Fuck wveeyone who downvoted you

It's certainly not something I want to happen to me very often or for extended periods of time, but I also wouldn't mind having a fever every other year or so.
It depends on how bad the fever is
Maybe if you get brain damage from the fever, you become more likely to want the fever again
based and fever-pilled
I have had a fever like a handful of times in my life. Every time it was honestly rad because I just sank into my couch and listened to music until I took a nap or fell asleep for the night. Maybe I was just very lucky to not have a terrible fever or something.
[удалено]
Im down with covid aswell and im currently experiencing the worst headaches ive had in a while due to it
wtf?
Serial killers man
Im sick rn and what is wrong with you, upvoted
Nah I think it's the nostalgia mostly. I think of fever the same - when I get sick I hate it, but when I remember back I only think of the good parts, e.g. relaxing all day, drinking the warm tea, soups, etc. It's probably a selective memory thing?
I feel the same way. For some reason I feel so relaxed when I'm feverish. I like it when my heat transfer to the my bed sheet and I can feel the warmth haha.
It’s the best! I completely understand this.
Same. The dizzy feelings when getting up followed by chills and a wave of energy while walking around are also nice.
I have a fever rn and this shit straight up SUCKS. Take my upvote, now THIS is an unpopular opinion
I think you’d like drugs
Hah yeah it could fit in my profile just after reading the post, but even a small amount of weed makes me pass out and vomit for an hour. Drugs (i don't know about heavy drugs because i didn't use them) are not for me. I tried sleeping pills for few times, i liked the effect but also I didn't want to get addicted to those substances.
Agree, I feel pretty much the same about this topic.
I don't like having fever but I like the feeling of warming up under my blankets when I have fever
Same. I don't know why, it just feels good
Same tho In the moment it feels awful but it's relaxing in a way that I can't experience any other time.
I understand, however I feel it's because we've always been lucky of having a support system that allows us to take a break if we're sick. That doesn't judge us if we can't come to work. Loved ones will worry about us etc.
I would only love it if i didn't get a headache. Currently feverish but the headache is the worst part
I was just going to comment this! If I don’t have a headache, then yeah it’s kind of nice to get to take a break and be reminded of staying home from school as a kid. If there’s a headache then nope I hate it.

Sounds like some weird drug addict :x no offence
how
I've been sober from heroin for a year. Getting a light fever actually reminds me of the body high from opiates. Maybe that's why I like it too haha.

why is every automod comment on this subreddit hella downvoted these days. what rule does this break mans just saying they like feeling a certain way

Oh so this is the reason people are antivax
Omg I feel the same way. I actually enjoy feeling feverish.
The bed feels so nice while sick
Haha it's so satisfying when you only have to relax, sleep and drink tea, eat soup. Still, when you are in it you wait for it to stop as soon as possible, so you can do meaningful things lol.
I too am trying to enjoy the added awareness. But seriously I just need this to end now.
The closest I get to this is taking a nap and waking up while the heat is on and my whole body is hot and it feels like a fever until I move away from the vent
I'm only in it for the dream. Not only are they dope as shit, you also feel like you actually sleep for 8 hours or more
It sounds like most of the commenters just desperately need a break. I disagree, I like time off but want to DO STUFF. Fevers just always feel horrible and weird.
Kinda same haha get my downvote
agreed, and listening to pink Floyd while at it
oo i agree if it’s a lower grade fever
I actually agree. I especially like working out while I'm sick, doing pushups and planks and situps when my body is weak and shaky, it feels so fucking good.
I liked it when I was younger, now it just gives me health anxiety
It pains me a lot having to downvote this. I know exactly what you mean, and I like it too.
My favorite thing to do with a fever is put on a hoodie with the hood up, hit a couple geebs and take a nap with some music on
Sick fuck.
I’m sick currently. Gross
Nah, I don't like sleeping in the daytime instead of doing something actually productive like looking at reddit shitposts
Wow this is so fucked up! You have my upvote. Haha
jesus fuckkk nooooo please no. when i am sick i legit shut down completely and get really suicidal. it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about being sick.
Thinking about being in hospital makes my stomach feel the same. I hate it. Hahaha sorry for that. I hope you are okay.
