Regular illness and depression

[Ses]

Hello folks,

Random topic (forgive me if anyone's been here before), but does anyone else find that they seem to take much longer than 'non-depressed' people to get over colds/flu etc? I'm onto my second heavy cold of the year and it seems to drag on and on. Because I'm so tired with it (and some depressive tiredness too) I must seem so utterly pathetic. I've had to leave work early today, and this is the 7th day of it. Annoyingly, once I'm home the symptoms of the cold seem to almost disappear. It's so weird. I want to be at work and getting on with stuff, but I can't seem to manage it.

Snuffly Ses over and out

hi ses. no your not pathetic. i thought it was only me that never seemed to get over colds. i used to think i had some sort of immune system failure because i got that many colds. just as quick as i got over one i,d get another. don,t beat yourself up over it too much. get well soon ses

Thanks :) I've been getting so paranoid that I've had blood tests, and of course they come up negative! It's good to know it's not just me, but I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad time of it too. x
