this is by far one of the worst colds i’ve ever had. i’ve had it for a week now and it just keeps getting worse and worse every day. i’ve missed three (and a half technically) days of school because i can barely even function, and i don’t think i’m going in today either. i cant go a few seconds without coughing, i haven’t sleep at all and my whole body is just aching. but i’m still worried because a common cold feels like a really stupid reason not to go to school. everyone gets them and they manage just fine, so why am i struggling so much. i’m really scared that my teachers are gonna be mad at me, or that me or my parents will get warned by the school about me not being in. that and i’m in my last year, too, so i should be in as much as possible. i don’t know, am i overreacting to the cold or am i overreacting about the school situation?
