Physical v Mental

I've caught a bug which has left me feeling very tired and full of cold. With the added fun of the depression getting myself to do anything is harder than normal. Though I know if I don't do something then the depression will get worse exacerbating the effects of the bug and taking me longer to get over it. It can be hard to find a balance at times like this of giving myself time to recover from both physical and mental impacts and at the same time not allowing the depression to get a real grip onto me mind.
