"Blip" after flu

[Goldfinch]

I've been coping well with anxiety on a daily dose of 5 mg escitalopram since the start of the year. Over Easter my partner had flu and was ill for over a week. I'd been vaccinated, so I didn't get the full deal, but had a mild version with aching muscles and felt really tired. Then a couple of days ago I woke up feeling anxious and weepy. The world has gone back to looking pretty bleak again. Nothing else has changed, so I assume it's just a post-viral symptom like the tiredness and will go in time, hopefully! Has anyone else experienced this?

Oh yeh! It takes me ages to get over any kind of physical illness because my emotional state is so low. Eat well, rest, be kind to yourself. I hope you feel better soon.

I am always the same after a physical illness. It always sets my anxiety off again but as you say it is just a little 'blip'
