I’ve been down with a bad cold and it’s really got me depressed.
I’m sorry chordy. I hope it clears up for you soon!
Sorry to hear, I wish you get better …
Too bad I hope you feel better 
I say the same as @mjseu and add:
if you have a cold, it might pass, so it is reasonable to expect improvement.
Further, try to do something even when you feel down.
I always excercise, even when the going is tougher( meaning I have to take
breaks in the middle of the activity).
I am not telling you what to do, just trying to give advice.
Sorry, @PinCushion. This too shall pass! Hang in there and be kind to yourself. Hope you feel better quickly. 
I feel that way when I get a cold. It passes.
I have no interest in leaving my Assisted Living facility or even in leaving my apartment. I just see no point in it. I go to the in house chapel for mass and Rosary, and to dining room for dinner and that’s about it. Other than that, I’m in my apartment. I never go out. Not even to shop. I do go to a church once a week for a volunteer meeting but that is it. Nothing and I mean nothing else. The only reason I do the volunteer work is because God told me to do it. If not for that, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t have agoraphobia. I’m not afraid to go out. I just have no interest in going out. All of my interests are in my apartment: my books, my yoga, my meditation, my piano, my cat, my computer, my magazines, my music, my art books and videos, my scented candles, my coffee, everything is in my apartment. I’m comfortable here. Why would I want to go out?
My dad was the same way as me. In his older years, he never left his bedroom. He had his bed, his coffee, his phone, his cigarettes, his Spanish channel T.V., and his news magazines and papers and he was happy as a lark.
