Flu A & mental health

Hi, all. I’m on day 4 of flu A. Body aches, but now mostly dealing with respiratory issues and congestion. The sore throat has been out of this world. I believe I’ve slept a total of 6 hours the last 3 nights.

As someone that’s prone to anxiety and depression, I’m really struggling mentally this afternoon. I’m physically and mentally exhausted. I just calmed down from a major cry session. I know I’ll get better, but right now everything seems bleak. Even watching a movie seems like an unpleasant task, you know?

I’m writing this to vent and hopefully get some, “it gets better” support. I can’t see beyond the next 5 minutes of hell, please someone help. Thank you.
