If I'm sick, that means I'm sick, so I don't feel guily at all. I'm more likely to be preoccupied about getting back healthy as soon as possible.

Restless, yes. Guilty? lol.
But generally I don't miss work from sickness unless a) I just felt like taking the day off, and being sick was a good excuse or b) I've been to the hospital/been physically debilitated by illness.

We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

I feel guilty about something almost all of the time. I don't ever stay home from work because my work is AT home, but when I'm sick or a kid is sick and I don't get much done during the day, I do feel guilty. And thanks to the H1N1 thing, I've had one kid after another sick. Today I'm trying to catch up, but my living room is littered with baby toys and needs a good vacuuming. I've gotten the kitchen and bathroom cleaned so far.

Well, I generally feel bad when I stay home because I know I will have tons of assignments to make up when I go back...so I prefer not to stay home even if I am actually sick.

If you can't, then at least speak out against it with your tongue.
If you can't, then at least you have to hate it with all your heart.
And this is the weakest of faith."
Guilty?? No way. I would only feel restless at home if I had nothing going on, no internet, and no new/interesting video games to play.
I generally don't stay home because I'm sick though. In fact I remember many times being forced to (when I really like my job).
When I hate it... well, let's just say those sick days get used up fast.
I usually feel guilty about it because I'm not sure if my sickness is valid because I'm sure I can still get through the day without dying and I go everywhere in my mind from "I'm not sick I'm just imagining it" to "I really must be sick". If I actually have a really bad cold (which I go years at a time without catching anything as far as I know) then I don't feel guilty because I know that other people don't want it and it's really better all the way around if I stay at home. Anyway I hate calling in sick because I always feel like I need to somehow justify it and I don't know how to because I may not be sure if I should even stay home. I have called in sick before due to insomnia a couple times over the past three years because I couldn't sleep and then I needed to be to work by 8am and I felt like I probably wasn't going to be able to get through the day... and probably most of my problems are caused by my consistent lack of sleep. Also, I know that I don't really take care of myself really well... I don't know when I need to rest and I think it's really bad in the sense that I think taking care of oneself is really important and probably I shouldn't sacrifice my own well being because I feel guilty... but if I was certain about it in the first place I probably wouldn't feel guilty.
How do you not stay at home when sick? I mean, how is it possible to work with the flu/fever/vomit/headache?

The bold part all holds true for me. I rarely become so sick that I am physically unable to do any task, I usually just suck it up don't think about it. But sleeping derivation is just so painful when you haven't had proper sleep for the last 24-48 hours. With the fact that you might work in a place where you need high awareness/concentration would make matters worse. Anything more than 2 full days without sleep is just dangerous.
I used feel reaaaaaly guilty.
but after some things have happened, I see staying at home from work as a sort of sport. See how long I can stay home. It's a game for me. I once stayed home for 6 months. Nice paid holiday. Nowadays I don't have the same morals anymore as I used to have... and it feels awesome.
I don't really get the flu and I doubt I get fevers very often (if ever) but I have a headache most days and sometimes I'm sick to my stomach... I mean I really don't think I get actual viruses very often (if my nose is running and I have a sore throat, am constantly coughing or blowing my nose, etc. I will generally stay home because it's the responsible thing to do and it's just plain dumb not to). I usually have a headache and feel some degree of shitty though... so it's more a matter of how shitty is "shitty". As for feeling guilty, I have a problem with guilt in general... I often feel guilty about things. I'm working on it.
I haven't vomited since July. It went something like this: .
Right, I forgot that americans never get sick.

My parents both have Si PoLRs and they both would work through illness. They'd work through anything. Particularly my mom. She got migraine headaches like I get, and I have NO IDEA how she worked through those. She also went back to work two weeks after I was born, and that couldn't have been easy either.

The only thing that can keep me in bed is depression. Fever? I usually don't even notice until someone says something to me. Vomit? It's just another bodily function as far as I'm concerned; being deprived of half of the nutrition from one mean out of the whole day is no excuse for anything, excepting the ten seconds it takes to wipe your mouth and use some mouthwash. I haven't had an "illness" that kept me in bed since I was like 10.

The problem is not being deprived of nutrition, vomitting makes you exhausted because you use all your muscles in the "wrong" way, and you usually do it when you're already ill in the first place. I have vomitted while "sane" once, after a long climb with the bike where I ate just inbetween and that was a bad choice, and after 10 minutes I was okay...but if you are already debiliated by illness in the first place, vomit really depletes your energy.

I feel guilty about lying about it, but no, I don't feel any guilt about not going to school/work/class, unless its something where I was actually needed, which is rare. I only feign it when it's socially necessary.

Why do people feel guilty about lying? I don't get that. I mean, sure, I worry about getting caught, but...guilt?

Funny you should ask; my mother is LSE.
She was so insistent about knowing what I was up to and catching me getting away with minor deceptions or circumnavigations while I was growing up that, instead of backing down, I just got better at deceiving.

I actually agree with Gilly somewhat... there are like 1000 levels of awareness between awareness of sickness/physical condition and awareness of mind/emotion/whatever my awareness is. I don't really know the extent to which it all relates but I know that I'm aware of my mental/emotional state the majority of the time that I'm not immersed in my thoughts... the thing that starts tipping me off that something might be wrong is that my thoughts start dimming and I gradually become increasingly aware of this and then there are moments of confusion before I realize that it's physical. I'm not Si PoLR though. I'm mainly just a very mental person, whatever my type. Anyway I second guess myself unless it's blatantly obvious on the outside... I mean I can't be unsure about being sick if I'm coughing and sneezing and throwing up... because any doubt is stamped out by the very obvious things that I'm constantly doing because of it. I think that my main area of guilt centers in the interface between myself and others... if I didn't have to tell someone I was staying home, I think that I might actually feel less guilty. I know this doesn't make sense and seems retarded/pathetic... But I mean if I get sick to my stomach should I call in? What if I do and it doesn't happen the rest of the day... then obviously it wasn't very serious and not like I'm dying or something... it's like I don't really know what warrants calling in or how bad "bad" is. I usually rely on outside indicators. Like one time I went home when I had a headache because my vision was blurred... and I couldn't do my work because I couldn't focus with my eyes well enough, so then there's no room for doubt. I've also worked at places before where they really get on your case if you try to call in sick and then if I'm not sure to begin with then this just adds to the mess because then I have to be totally confident that I'm sick and say so with total confidence and explain why and I'd almost rather just go to work than do all of that (it's only 8 hrs).
