what goes up must come down? i’d been busy clearly, pushing myself hard in my work outs, socialising, caught a bug. i’m just getting over one as i write now actually. it’s been hanging around for ages. almost two weeks of low energy and blocked up tubes.

for me, when i am sick, i get depressed. i am prone to depression anyway due to my autism, and sometimes i won’t know i’ve got a cold (i also have alexithymia) but will just feel really down and miserable. and then it is a relief the next day when my nose is blocked and i realise life will be fine in a couple of days when it passes.
