@creative_writer our bodies are great at kicking us in the shins when we are down. Feel depressed? No probs we'll give you a cold sore to go with it. You poor thing, it's one thing on top of the other. And anything that makes eating difficult is so draining. My teeth have pretty much disintegrated over the past few years due to medication and a couple have exposed nerves so I have to be careful what I eat so I kind of understand how you feel. Cold sores are dreadful, my former friend suffered from them and I would see her almost in tears sometimes because she had to be so careful how she ate or drank anything. I pray it heals quickly for you. 

Are the blankets giving you some comfort? I'm like you, when I need a safe place I head to bed with my blankets and favourite pillow. I think that may be part of why I feel so blah at the moment, it's too hot to snuggle up in bed to self soothe
