Post Flu Recovery/Not recovering

Question

Asked for Male, 39 Years

I had the flu last week. from the 15-17th I had a 102 degree temp. It's been over a week now and I don't have the temp anymore but I still have zero energy. My eyes are dry and I feel totally weak. I know it takes a long time to recover but it's never taken me close to this long. I'm falling behind in school cause I can't do homework and I'm starting to get depressed (Depression has been a problem in my past) I have no insurance, should I try to see a doctor? Shoud I wait it out?
