I recently got over the most intense and difficult depressive episode I've had (about a couple of months ago) and I finally returned to university after a semester break and was feel pretty good. Honestly I love being back, I love my classes etc. But then I started getting anxious and irritated and then I got the flu and straight after I got a cold. I'm not sick currently but sickness can sometimes trigger a mood episode.

Suddenly it becomes difficult to study and I'm feeling tired and out of it. I have 4 assignments and an exam and I'm working on an assignment now and it seems impossible. I've managed to get 1000 words done and I have 500 left but then suddenly I just felt so bad yesterday and I ran out of steam. I've been sitting here all morning not being able to do anything. I hate when this happens, it makes me feel so stupid because it's honestly not a lot of work to do and I SHOULD be able to do it!! Past couple of weeks it feels like I've been fighting to keep my head above water I'm not seeing a psychologist anymore because my sessions ran out and tbh I feel like I'm beyond help right now. My brain and body feel like lead.

I'd appreciate anything encouraging and support at the moment
