Flu: The flu can really knock you people out. And it sometimes takes 2-3 weeks for people to fully feel like they have their energy back. The fevers and muscle aches should have stopped, however. It is not normal to have depression and racing thoughts after the flu - so make sure you check in with your doctor and let them know what is going on! best of luck to you.
