Feeling extra lonely when you’re sick is normal
When your body hurts, you naturally feel more fragile, and you want someone nearby to hand you a glass of water and ask if you feel any better. Getting through it alone, feeling sorry for yourself, missing home, even crying a little, none of that means you aren’t strong enough. Looking after yourself on your own is already a lot, and it is completely okay to feel you can’t quite manage sometimes.
At the Quiet Station, let your body rest first
The lights at the Quiet Station stay on, there is no train to catch, and nobody is waiting for your reply. Write on a bedside note the place that hurts most right now, then one small thing you can do for yourself now, like putting a glass of warm water by the bed, keeping your medicine and thermometer within reach, or messaging a friend you trust to let them know, and fold it away so it stays only on your device. Work and to-do lists can wait. If a high fever won’t go down or your symptoms keep getting worse, please see a doctor soon, and if the low mood lingers long after, it may help to talk with someone you trust or a professional.
No account, no name, and you can leave whenever you like.
