\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

What the heck is influenza depression?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sick with influenza depression.<\/p>\n

Is that even a real thing? Can the flu cause depression?<\/p>\n

We are in the midst of flu season once again and that made me think of something that happened to me nearly 10 years ago. I wasn\u2019t aware of its significance back then, but the more research I did, the more it peaked my interest.<\/p>\n

In 2009 and throughout 2010 we saw a deadly outbreak of the H1N1 virus, also known as the Swine Flu. It was the first flu pandemic in four decades and only the second outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus since just after WWI. The 2009 virus was a different version of the previous H1N1 virus, and as you might remember, it spread around the globe incredibly fast.<\/p>\n

\"Influenza<\/span><\/p>\n

I was working at a small office in 2009. I lived in a small town and I had never considered getting the flu shot. Usually a few people at the office would get sick. I would get sick too, spend a few days resting in bed, and then I would be good again until the next year\u2019s flu season. It was normally just a cough, stuffy nose, and feeling tired, nothing too bad.<\/p>\n

It was normally just a cough, stuffy nose, and feeling tired, nothing too bad.<\/p>\n

2010 was different. The first thing out of the ordinary was that it hit me outside my usual \u201cflu time\u201d. Previously, I had gotten sick in October, November, or December, but was always fit again for the holidays. In 2010 it happened in March. The second thing out of the ordinary was the symptoms. <\/p>\n

How my influenza depression started<\/h3>\n

I had spent the night at my boyfriend\u2019s house. During the night I woke up a few times and just felt \u201coff\u201d. I couldn\u2019t put my finger on it. By the time morning rolled around, I had trouble moving my legs and I had cramps all over my body. It felt like I was burning from the inside out. I was hot and cold at the same time and my skin felt clammy. Even the blanket touching my body hurt.<\/p>\n

I called my parents, who were also my work bosses at the time. Feeling dizzy and sick I remember saying to my mom that I thought I was being poisoned. She said that I was being completely ridiculous, but after realizing how sick I was, she came to the house right away. In a short time I developed a fever and it became clear that I wasn\u2019t going to work that day.<\/p>\n

Since it was easier to care for me at home, my parents decided to move me from my boyfriend\u2019s house back to my room at their house. By the evening, I had deteriorated even more. Pillows propped me up because I felt like I was drowning in my own lungs. I could hardly breathe and my whole body was burning and cramping all over. My mom decided to give me some Ibuprofen to help with the fever and the pains.<\/p>\n

\u201cDepression isn’t about, ‘Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other’, it’s like having the worst flu all day that you just can’t kick.\u201d                                                 – Robbie Williams<\/p>\n

That was only the beginning<\/h3>\n

Shortly after, I started throwing up blood and my parents were in a real panic. My mom wanted to call the ambulance. Somewhere in my delirium I heard hospital and ambulance and I freaked out. The hospital is one place I never wanted to go. In my opinion, people went to the hospital to die. So I kept saying that I just wanted to die at home in my own bed.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t remember the following days. From what I have been told my family took turns staying home and caring for me. Strangely enough, nobody else got sick. I was in and out for several days.<\/p>\n

\"Influenza<\/span><\/p>\n

It took three weeks before I was able to get out of bed again on my own. I had no appetite and I still felt weak and tired all the time. After a month, I went back to work for the first time. Since I just had to sit at a computer, I decided to give it a try. Laying around in bed for all that time was driving me crazy.<\/p>\n

\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

The pre-cursor to influenza depression<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another 5 months passed before I was able to fully function again. During that time I kept having bouts of extreme exhaustion. Sometimes I had to nap at lunch because I was so tired. And that was just from sitting at my desk! Exercise was completely out of the question. I ate healthy and took every antiviral supplement I could find. Later on, my doctor asked me if I wanted to be tested for the Swine Flu virus. She was pretty certain that\u2019s what had happened to me.<\/p>\n

I am deathly afraid of needles, so I declined. It wouldn\u2019t have made a difference at that point anyways. All I know is that was the sickest I have ever been.<\/p>\n

Toward the end of 2010 I started feeling better again and I was so happy the flu was done with. In October I got very nervous because I was scared of picking up the flu again, but that year I did not get sick again at all. Instead, I slid into a very bad bout of depression.<\/p>\n

This fact did not stand out to me at the time. I was depressed and the \u201chow and why\u201d of it was extremely difficult to understand. But, as I began doing more research on depression later on, I found depression and influenza mentioned together more and more often. Influenza depression was not listed as a specific condition; however, the two popping up together made me think about my Swine Flu.<\/p>\n

\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

The flu-depression connection<\/span><\/h2>\n

Apparently Daniel Hack Tuke, a British physician, already explored the link between influenza and depression in the 19th century. In 1892 he wrote a series of articles about his observation that influenza patients seemed to get depression more frequently than patients who had not contracted influenza.<\/p>\n

Dr. Hack Tuke had great interest in psychology and is known for reforming the asylums of the time. He traveled throughout Europe and North America, visiting asylums in different countries and gathering knowledge about mental health. He also wrote and edited many books, putting his vast knowledge to paper.<\/p>\n

\"Influenza<\/span>\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

The more recent connection<\/span><\/h2>\n

In more recent times, Dr. Steven Schlozman, a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital, has made the same connection. In a blog post he explains the concern about influenza and depression, as each condition seems to worsen the other condition.<\/p>\n

For example, children who are depressed have a much harder time recovering from influenza. And children who have a severe case of influenza can develop a sort of influenza depression, which makes it difficult to recover.<\/p>\n

Another interesting thing Dr. Schlozman mentions is inflammation. When we contract the flu, our body mounts a full immune response in an effort to kill off the virus. This response puts our bodies into an inflammatory state.<\/p>\n

Psychiatric distress, such as depression, is also associated with an inflammatory state. It is possible that inflammation plays a big role in influenza depression. <\/p>\n

\"Psychiatric<\/span><\/p>\n

Influenza damage and the foundation for influenza depression<\/h3>\n

Studies suggest that severe cases of the flu leave behind some type of small, permanent damage in the nervous system. This might explain why people who have battled the flu could be more prone to becoming depressed later on.<\/p>\n

I think this is especially of concern in elderly people. When I volunteered at the extended care unit, for instance, it happened very often that elderly patients did not recover from the flu with the same mental presence they had before they became ill.<\/p>\n

In my case, I was already battling depression before I ever had the flu. But, the flu could be another piece as to why depression stayed with me for so long and was so difficult to break through. I imagine that could be the case for people who have had severe cases of influenza, maybe even more than once. Or for people who had influenza as a child and then battled depression in their teenage years.<\/p>\n

\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

Influenza anxiety<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another thing to consider is the psychological effect the flu left behind. I was so scared of getting sick again that for several years after 2010 I developed anxiety during the end of the year. I was always anticipating getting sick.<\/p>\n

At the sign of the smallest tickle in my throat I would break out sanitizers, face masks, antivirals, supplements, and essential oils. A complete pharmacy was lined up on my desk, just in case. As a depressed person I can tell you that kind of anxiety did not help my situation.<\/p>\n

\"Influenza<\/span>\"Round<\/span><\/p>\n

The Takeaway<\/span><\/h2>\n

The reality of influenza depression<\/h3>\n

I am not a doctor, so there is no medical opinion here. Undeniably, a connection between depression and influenza exists and becoming aware of that is another piece in the depression puzzle.<\/p>\n

Of course, we cannot shield ourselves and our families from ever becoming sick. But, knowing that influenza depression exists might help us make decisions after the flu that can better prevent a possible onset of depression.<\/p>\n

If we know someone who is recovering from influenza, we can check in on them frequently and look for signs of depression.<\/p>\n

We might also understand better that if we were sick with the flu multiple times, it could be part of the explanation of why we are battling depression that seems to just cling to us permanently.<\/p>\n

\"Influenza<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to panic?<\/h3>\n

Having said that there is no reason to break out surgical masks, pack up the family, move to remote Northern Canada, and live off the grid.<\/p>\n

It is completely possible to heal from depression even after contracting the flu. I am living proof of that.<\/p>\n

It might be a little more difficult, but knowing the link between the two is already one more step closer to healing.<\/p>\n

\"Beat<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay healthy this flu season and practice lots of self-care. And if you are curious now, you can explore even more about influenza depression online!<\/p>\n

What is New Year's Anxiety?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

New Year's Anxiety<\/p><\/div>

Most people really look forward to the end of the year and have never even heard of New Year's Anxiety. With January comes the \u201cright\u201d to turn a new leaf. We can start again. A new year gives us a new start. We celebrate this in grand fashion. Usually with a nice meal, a party with friends on New Year\u2019s Eve, and then the obligatory countdown at midnight.<\/p><\/div>

When I was little, New Year\u2019s Eve was one of the only times we were allowed to stay up late. We celebrated with family and friends. And at midnight, we went outside to shoot off fireworks and watch the whole town explode into colors and shapes in the sky.<\/p><\/div>

New Year\u2019s was a big deal. It was a time to say good-bye to the old. We would all do \u201cBleigie\u00dfen\u201d, a German New Year\u2019s tradition. You heat up a lump of lead in a special spoon over a candle. Then you toss the molten lead into a bowl of cold water. You take the shape out of the water and decide on what it looks like.<\/p><\/div>

Sometimes I had a ship, sometimes a feather, or a dolphin. You could look up your shape in a little booklet that comes with the lead kit. It told you what you could expect for the new year. This was such a fun thing to do and I have kept almost all shapes I made along the years.<\/p><\/div>

\"New<\/span><\/div>

Fun-filled times with family<\/h3><\/div>

Back then, New Year\u2019s was fun. It was filled with anticipation and excitement for what was coming in the next year. We talked about dreams and hopes. We made plans and challenged each other to various resolutions. It was a time away from school and work, just having fun with family and friends. A break in time to relax, decompress, and enjoy.<\/p><\/div>

As time went by, New Year\u2019s started to cause me a lot of anxiety. The pressure to be excited about turning a new leaf became a heavy burden. The strain of failed resolutions added to feeling like a failure every year. I noticed that one year followed the other and nothing changed.<\/p><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n

Although I wanted to welcome the next year with enthusiasm, deep down I knew that it would not be any better.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

I started off in January hoping that things would get better. I told my parents I would change, be happier, more positive, and the year would be fantastic. By March, I felt the weight of depression on my shoulders and the resolution to \u201cbe more positive\u201d faded away. By June, I usually realized that nothing would change, no matter how much I tried.<\/p><\/div>

Hating myself for my failures<\/h3><\/div>

I spent the rest of the year frustrated, hating myself, and loathing the fact that I was unable to make a simple change. December came around and I would feel the anxiety mounting. I anticipated the stress of the holidays. I feared having to pretend to be happy and suffer through the holidays with family and friends.<\/p><\/div>

Even more than that I feared New Year\u2019s Eve. The yearly reminder that I had failed yet again. The annual list of things I had not accomplished and proof that the last year had been as bad as the year before. And the fact that I felt like I had to defend my failures to everyone around me. That I had to somehow justify why I could not get my life in order - year after year.<\/p><\/div>

I developed New Year\u2019s Anxiety. The holidays and New Year\u2019s Eve became a source of fear. I tried to avoid the parties and get-togethers. I felt very alone with my failures and misunderstood about what this pressure to change did to me. But, most of all, I hated myself for not being able to do anything about it.<\/p><\/div>

\n\t
<\/div>\n\t

\u201cYou are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.\u201d
                                                 - C. S. Lewis<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

How can you start to work through New Year\u2019s Anxiety?<\/h3><\/div>

The answer might surprise you because it turned out to be rather simplistic. The thing that helped me most was acceptance. It might sound simple, however, it is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Accepting myself, accepting my path, and accepting my pace was what finally helped me work through my New Year's Anxiety.<\/p><\/div>

The most difficult thing is to uncover where the path to acceptance starts. For me it started by taking off the pressure of the New Year resolutions and instead following small steps throughout the year to progress. My path was not going to start in January and magically change my life. I walked my journey the entire year, one step forward at a time.<\/p><\/div>

\"Prevent<\/span><\/div>

This change in attitude drastically changed my anxiety level. I knew deep inside that it would always be easier to hide from things in my life that needed changing. But, I also knew that this would cause me a lifetime of anxiety and depression. Partially because I would always be running from something. So, I decided to face things head on.<\/p><\/div>

Yes, this caused my anxiety to spike whenever something needed facing and changing. But the truth is that I knew to anticipate these spikes and in the long run it helped me reduce my anxiety level throughout the entire year. Because I was moving forward all the time I knew I did not need to worry about January coming around again and throwing me off balance.<\/p><\/div>

\n\t
<\/div>\n\t
\"Round<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How to prevent New Year's Anxiety<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Let\u2019s talk about what kinds of things I do throughout the year to prevent New Year\u2019s Anxiety.<\/p><\/div>

I believe the best steps to take throughout the year are steps that help support you in some small way. Most of my steps, for instance, are small goals that are moving me toward staying (or getting) healthy. Notice the emphasis on \u201csmall\u201d. I do not set goals that take a very long time. And \u201clong time\u201d needs to be your own definition. It needs to be what you feel comfortable with.<\/p><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n

I find that if I set goals that take months, I usually get bored, distracted, or discouraged.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

It brings on the same anxiety that New Year\u2019s does. This is because the change is so overwhelmingly big that I know I can only fail at it. In other words, I break my steps and goals down into very small chunks that I can realistically achieve in a day or a few days. You can apply this method to pretty much anything you would like to achieve or change.<\/p><\/div>

Putting pressure on myself<\/h3><\/div>

For example, one of my New Year\u2019s resolutions used to be to lose weight. In January I would go on a strict diet. That would last two weeks. In addition, one of those weeks I would exercise nearly every day. Then, I would get busy with life and work and just revert to what I was doing before. The change was such a drastic difference to my normal routine that it was not realistic in the long run. <\/p><\/div>

Now, I give myself a lot of time to achieve that kind of change. A small step, for instance, would be to commit to cutting out sugar for one day. And then I would commit to it again the next day. After reducing my sugar consumption and feeling like I could handle that for a few weeks, I would start adding the commitment to go for a walk once a week. The steps were small and I felt awesome when I achieved what I had committed to.<\/p><\/div>

\n\t
<\/div>\n\t
\"Round<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tiny steps to kick New Year's Anxiety<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

To a lot of people, my changes were too small to make a difference quickly. Going for a walk once a week would not help me lose weight right away. The big difference is that I actually stick with changes like that, whereas if the change is too drastic, I just abandon it and eventually walk away.<\/p><\/div>

And that is a very important point to remember - it is ok to walk away from a goal. If you have set yourself a goal and you realize that you cannot stick with it, it is alright to walk away. This does not mean you have failed at it. It simply means you will need to break this goal down into smaller chunks, so you can succeed by making realistic changes. It is not you that is flawed, it is simply the method of change that is flawed and you need to rethink your approach.<\/p><\/div>

\"New<\/span><\/div>

The goals that work best for me are things related to making a positive change in my life. Very often that is difficult to sort out when you are depressed and anxious; however, you can try a few things and see what works for you.<\/p><\/div>

\n\t
<\/div>\n\t
\"Round<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Realistic Goals<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Diet and Exercise<\/h3><\/div>

These are two areas that really affect everyone. For depressed people making small changes like cutting out sugar, for instance, or going for a walk can already start making a difference. You could also commit to working on a healthy sleep schedule, or hydrating properly throughout the day. You could learn one new recipe on YouTube and cook it for yourself and your family. There are many options with small starting points that could all make a difference in how you feel.<\/p><\/div>

\"New<\/span><\/div>

Self-Care<\/h3><\/div>

Making positive changes in your diet and exercise are a great start and definitely part of self-care. You can even take this one step further and commit to doing meditation, unplugging for some time each weekend to re-balance, having a bath, getting a massage, listening to music, drawing, taking up things you used to love doing, or simply sitting by the ocean. Whatever feels like it will recharge your batteries and add balance to your life.<\/p><\/div>

Communication<\/h3><\/div>

Since it is so easy to get isolated when you are depressed, another area I like to work on is communication. This includes committing to communicating with my family about what is going on and what I need. It might be having a coffee with an old friend in a quiet location. You don\u2019t need to throw a party, but the commitment to connect with others and break through the isolation is essential.<\/p><\/div>

\n\t
<\/div>\n\t
\"Round<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Takeaway<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Accepting myself<\/h3><\/div>

New Year\u2019s Anxiety is real and it affects many people I know personally. Over the years I have learned to accept who I am and how I can personally achieve realistic change. This was the key to letting go of this year-end anxiety.<\/p><\/div>

If you experience New Year\u2019s Anxiety, you could be trying to take on too much at a time. You could also be using a model of change that does not work for you. Keep in mind that the point of changing things is to make your life better, not to cause you anxiety and depression.<\/p><\/div>

Having said that, you can walk away from changes that you feel do not benefit you and rethink what it is you really need and want. It is up to you to choose your path and your pace. You are an individual person and your changes will be unique to you.<\/p><\/div>

So, take the time to understand what you would like to change and how you feel comfortable changing it. There is no rule that says you have to change in January. There is also no rule that says you have to change everything cold-turkey and never look back.<\/p><\/div>

\"New<\/span><\/div>

Find your own way to change<\/h3><\/div>

Change is a journey and you will find there are challenges along the way. You may get set back after moving forward, and you might find that you need to change the method you have picked out.<\/p><\/div>

\n
<\/div>\n

None of this means you have failed. You are good enough to have the best in life.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>

Remember that you are strong and usually your \u201cgut feeling\u201d already knows what you need. Follow your intuition and find your own path to change. That way it will be long-lasting and rewarding for you.<\/p><\/div>

\"Happiness<\/span><\/div>

I encourage you to let go of the pressure faced at the end of the year and step into the power you hold in your own life.
Go for what you want!<\/p><\/div>
