So I've just gotten over the flu. My anxiety flared really bad and it took 3 weeks for me to get over the flu. During that time my mother came to help me get through my panick attacks and she became sick with what we thought was my flu. Turns out it was covid or both. So my anxiety flared up again but not as bad about exposure. Well I've tested negative. I know I don't have it but I'm still on edge and feel weird. As in I don't feel like everything is ok. Is this normal? Idk if it's post flu fatigue or from being really stressed for so long and trying to come down from that. I'm not finding enjoyment in things I like to do. I can't focus well. It's more like ok what needs done and when I get done with that I look for something else to stay busy. But I'm tired. I've tried to nap but I just get fidgety. I'm tired of feeling this way. I just want to feel ok and normal again. Any advice?

Hi Ryubug, give your body time to regenerate from your illness. Anytime we aresick and in bed, once we are feeling better it still takes the body some time to
catch up in what it lost with vitality and strength.
It's quite normal to feel both tired and fidgety. Out bodies weren't meant to just
lie around so the the rational part of you wants to rest and recover while the other
part of you gets fidgety by wanting to get back to life again.
First things first Ryubug. Feel better soon. xx
