Sleeping instead of running

Running has been a great way of managing my depression. It shakes the bad feelings out of me and leaves me feeling revived. It's a classic middle aged activity, not something I would have attempted as a young person. I know it works because I've had flu this week and that's meant no running and a terrible low mood.

I feel sick and I can't get out of bed. All I want to do is sleep. It's nice being in bed, having the duvet around me feels like being cuddled. Sleeping stops the 'chatter' in my brain and blocks out my problems. I want to sleep and sleep and sleep.
