I know my psychiatrist said when my body is fighting inflammation, so is the brain. Great. Is it normal to feel a bit down when you're not well? I'm tired of fighting off on virus after another , feels like I only get a couple of good days in between.

Hello, iheartjacques. An illness together with a disorder is not something I would like more of.

Why the frequent viruses? Do you have a primary care doctor? What have they got to say? (If your body is constantly fighting viruses or trying to heal, it can sap your resilience and expose you to depression.)

Psychiatrist says I have a weakened immune system due to depression due to frequent illnesses - a vicious cycle. Staying home in bed today. Watching movies to keep my mind off things.

 Appropriate care for being sick is to rest, lay around, do nothing, eat when nothing tastes good, not do things you enjoy (see also Rest), nor socialize. Sounds like depression, walks like depression, but it's not really. I have asthma, my worst anxiety/depression flares are during recovery. 1. I am on prednisone which makes your brain mad and bad. 2. enforced confinement (docs caught on to confine me when I have an attack or I'll struggle my sorry hypoxic arse to work.) 3. hypoxia makes your brain not work right  4. being tired feels like sleeping too much 5. asthma causes anxiety and anxiety leads to depression (that whole not breathing thing causes anxiety....hunh.) 6. It could be a pulmonary embolism and that's a whole load of undesireable medical dung right there. 7. Not doing/accomplishing means I am a loser and the years are slipping slipping slippping into the futuuuuure. Lately, I have had to add an anxiety component to my asthma action plan, hopefully to shortcircuit the whole thing for me.
