Same in Sweden, it’s understood that it’s going to suck and you’ll be uncomfortable but that it’ll pass. It’s a given for a lot of people here that it won’t be a problem to stop working while sick. Just rest and small comfort measures (for me, nose spray, ibuprofen if needed, sleeping and whining to myself).
All the time. My life has been pretty good when it comes to external circumstances, but I have a severe lifelong mood disorder.
So I’m constantly feeling bad and there’s never any ‘reason’.
