Poorly & feeling down

Ive been trying to get rid of a random virus for a couple of weeks now and I’m feeling quite down that I’m just not getting better, I’ve got no energy to do anything and just feel rubbish. I know there are so many worst things happening out there but I’m just feeling quite low with it now. Has anyone else got a delightful lurgy that won’t go away? Any ways of cheering myself up?!

I know how you are feeling. Not a virus but I’m recovering from extensive back surgery. It’s so hard to feel motivated. I get days where I can’t do anything and feel down. I think it’s hard to put pressure on ourselves to be better. Unfortunately, time is the only real fix. Can you sit in garden when weather good? Have a call with a friend. Listen to an audio book or pod cast (I can’t focus on reading!). Box sets that roll into the next episode. I hope you feeling better soon ☺️

It's awful isn't it?
I'm going through a bout of covid, fortunately mild, but tiring.
Keep your fluids and multivitamins up, especially things like lemon and ginger with honey in hot water. An electrolyte drink can help.
Warm showers help sore muscles and getting up and dressed in something comfortable and clean is helpful.
Eat good food, focus on positive books, DVDs and social media; all this will help your mindset.
And have someone buy you chocolates and flowers if possible 🙂

I don’t feel like I’m ever going to feel better 😒!

I know where you coming from. I’ve been stuck in for five weeks! Hope you feeling better soon

It's exhausting! I hope you feel better soon.

I've had this annoying cough for about a month now. My mum keeps insisting I go to my GP, but I'm not sick with it. It's just niggling and leaving me shattered. I feel like I'm coming to the end of it now thankfully.
