2nd Covid shot, feel like crap, cheer me up pls

Posted 1 year, 8 months ago (Edited 1 year, 3 months ago) by Kawaiimarshmallowkit

It’s currently almost 2AM where I’m at rn, and I legit cannot sleep. I got my second Covid shot on August 7th, and it seems to have kicked in because I feel like actual crap rn. ;-; I’m trying to sleep but I can’t because I feel like crap. I didn’t have any issues with the first shot, aside from bad arm pain and the shot actually being painful when I got it. The second shot actually didn’t hurt as much when I got it, but I’m having arm pain again and actually feel like crap this time (and not just because of the arm pain). I haven’t had to deal with feeling sick in a while (aside from pollen allergies that I had to deal with earlier this year) since it’s been awhile since I last actually got sick. I know the way I feel currently is most likely because of the second Covid shot (and I’m also tired but can’t sleep). Aside from the arm pain, I’m especially having really bad chills and a headache atm. I’m wearing a full-on jacket during the summer because of how cold I am atm. My blanket and comfort plushies weren’t enough to keep me warm, apparently. I also feel super tired (probably because I also can’t sleep) and kind of out of breath tbh (not I need to go to the hospital out of breath, just tired like I’ve been exercising a bit, but not super intense, still a super annoying feeling though). I’m kind of scared that I’m going to feel worse in the morning too.

Update: I woke up not too long ago, and I still feel like crap. I’m probably going to be sleeping a lot today tbh. Covid shot side effects suck so bad. ;-; It also feels like I’m starting to have a bit of leg pain, which I just remembered happened when I got the first dose too.

So basically the purpose of this thread, because I feel like crap and kinda need something to cheer me up rn tbh, send me random stuff to cheer me up! Funny videos, memes, pictures of my comfort characters (ik at least some of y’all know who some of them are rn, since I can’t shut up about them sometimes lol), etc. Heck if you really feel like it, you’re welcome to doodle some of my OCs, comfort ships, whatever lol)! If you do choose the option to draw something for me, meme redraws, joke art, etc. are encouraged! Idc about the quality either. My only criteria in terms of quality is that it looks like the character. Also, no NSFW please (this goes for sending videos and other stuff too)! Mild gore art is fine as long as it suits the character and there isn’t anything more than a bit of blood, and swearing is fine. Please no full-on offensive jokes. If you think it might offend me, don’t draw it for me or send it to me.

Hey! I’m sorry to hear your unable to sleep, i do hope you’re able to get at least maybe a few hours of sleep for tonight, and have a better one the next time!

I’d recommend moving the arm you got your shot on, move it in large circles; it’s personally helped me with the pain and swelling after a shot, you can just move your arm in slow circles since it may hurt, but it helps in the least so that it doesn’t hurt like crazy if you move your arm an inch!

As for cheering you up, here’s some bird videos! They’re nice but can be a bit silly too, hope they could cheer ya up!

SparkyKinetic Thanks! I’ll definitely check them out when I get time.

Buff smoliv? SWOLE-LIV >:] Yamroll

*buff smoliv gives you a hug*


but srsly tho i get the feeling and how bad it is ghhvhchxhshsh- If you havent tried yet (tho you prolly did so im prolly just sounding stupid rn lol) you can take some headache medicine and stuff, and drink some tea :] (Like Citrus and honey tea, it helped me quite a bit) Hope the side effects wear off soon tho, take care! :00

btw i found this video right here that made me wheeze for abt 5 minutes or so lol, and also this strangely good mashup of two trucks and misery (if you know neil cicierega/lemon demon then you prolly know what two trucks is about…if you dont its literally a song about two trucks having s*x but it isnt actually super explicit/suggestive, its literally a whole 4 minute long immature joke about trucks doing the deed and other stereotypical american stuff ashjhajhsjjsjs sorry for my rambling)

Yamroll Ty for the advice! I’ll check the videos out a bit later btw! And yeah I know about two trucks. From what I remember, I found it via an MMD video of Raku and Hitoshi from the infamous Nyan Neko Sugar Girls fanime  dancing to the song lol!!

Also ty Buff Smoliv *hug*
