I've got a horrible flu, had it since Wednesday. my anxiety and depression always comes back when I have a flu, and I am just to drained and tired to even try to fight it. Do you ever get like this?

YES! I had the flu in June and it seemed to last so long. I know my anxiety/depression made it worse and visa versa. I was terrible and didn;t have any motivation. I think when your body is sick, your mind can be too. . Well, I dont mean youre sick in the head I mean you just dont feel yourself. Healthy body healthy mind, right? I think yo should know this is okay and that it will pass and you will have motivation again. Just know that and let this crummy flu pass and just relax and drink some hot chamomile or peppermint tea!! I drink chamomile everyday and (i'll evev make it iced) and boy it makes me go pee every 5 minutes (he he sorry Too much info) and it doesn't even annoy me. I love that it makes me pee because I see it as being cleansing. I hope you feel better soon I know how you feel. I used toget the flu every month. . Literally!!

Yes I can relate. Flu is never fun and having anxiety drains you mentally & physically.

Even without the flu so many times I am too worn out to get motivated as my mind goes in over drive and I am exhausted.
