I tried to relate this to other parts of my life and realized that there are many times in which situations we consider an inconvenience are really pointing to a deeper problem. These negative symptoms are just signs saying "Hey! Watch out!" Things like fire detectors seem pointless and annoying when they go off when we are cooking dinner but can be life saving in the case of real danger. Oversleeping may be a symptom pointing to depression. A nagging mother is a sign of frustration and that maybe picking up those clothes off the floor will stop the inconvenience.
I even appreciate crying because it reminds me I am a human being and I am allowed to feel. Perhaps I express my emotions in a more obnoxious way with tears dripping down my chin but I feel grateful to feel something as powerful as sadness, hurt, or happiness and crying shows me just that. So thanks 104 degree fever and explosive diarrhea. I appreciate you taking care of my body.
