Man, I went through the exact same thing back in high school and throughout college. You know that mindset where you're like, "I literally cannot miss a single day of class" or "I absolutely cannot catch anything during finals week"... and honestly, it works. Even when there's a massive flu outbreak going around campus, I'll stay perfectly fine. I remember it vividly.
It’s just like what you said, though—once I actually decompress and don't have any major deadlines hanging over my head, that's when everything hits me at once. As for me, I've been stuck in bed today, but honestly, I'm feeling way better now than I was when I first posted this.
