Physical health impacting mental health

[MsAnnFrope]

Is it just me?
I have relatively well controlled depression, it’s rare that I have a bout of it even when I’m stressed.
but I’ve got a virus at the moment, usual cough, aching, fatigue, and I can really feel myself slipping. I’m tearful, emotionally all over the place, I feel just pointless.
does anyone else experience this? Is there an explanation for it?

Hi - I get the blues during/after a virus, too. It usually passes quite quickly. I have no idea if it's a "thing" but I've talked to friends who also get this.
