I am fairly certain that what i am going through is fairly reasonable but since everybody around me is calling me weird, and truth be told its been going for a little too long, i would like to gather /adv/'s opinions on the matter. Essentially I have spent the last 10 days on my couch unable to do more than the bare minimum, only feeding myself and sleeping. My appetite has been insane, Im eating 5 times a day and every time it's food time, Im not just a bit peckish, Im fucking ravenous, like the dinners I have eaten you people would not believe, Im talking 400g steak and 300g potatoes and 400g sauerkraut followed by pancakes in one sitting, lunch is similar volume, every day. I have gained a few kilos but it's not as much as I should given the volume of food I've been having. I can work from home and go to the supermarket but that's about it from what I've been up to.
As to why, I've had a very active June:
>friend visiting
>2 birthday parties in the same weekend with the friend
>friend leaves; quick pack for a 4 day festival
>festival was amazing, saw awesome bands, but was exhausting and i already crashed on day 2 but kept going thanks to weed and alcohol
>come back home, get literal covid next day
>fever for a day
>fever stops, pack for a weekday trip to another continent
>the trip is for work, i had to do a presentation at a conference, managed but under jet lag and severe exhaustion
>sunburn
>come back, start working
>crash after 3 days to the beginning of the story
granted, i probably took more than i could chew last month, but is this recovery arc truly reasonable? My HRV metrics are all fucked up too, how much fucking longer will i be so disabled, i would like to resume normal life activities. If this is normal, how do i explain it to people?
