I tested positive on Christmas Eve eve xD

I have done so much while sick that I haven’t done while not sick (well, not covid sick); it’s amazing. First few days I was out for sure but now I’m in go mode, I guess. I feel awful but so much is getting done. Like minus the coughing and soreness… Is it bad that I am somehow better with covid than I am without it? Like being chronically ill and in pain I’m just used to my body just feeling like shit but now I’m tapped into energy but am I screwing myself by not resting more? I’m just so tired of being tired and in a fog so being able to “do the things” sometimes is amazing! Stuff that I’ve being meaning to do for a year or that doing all in one day would’ve made me sleep for 16-24hours! Now I’m running on 4-6hours o.o

I know I should probably rest and chill in bed so I don’t develop any sort of complications but I feel a bit of the old me.

It totally canceled all holiday plans so I guess I went into prep for new year mode idk and I slept basically all of Christmas Eve and Christmas.

Idk if I need advice or just need to vent. Well at least venting gets me to sit down. Maybe I will take a nap cuz my eyes are wonky reading this.

Edit: 1/8 I did end up screwing myself and causing a relapse of being ill and complications with lingering symptoms but I got so much done that it feels worth it somehow. Like I’d probably be this messed up anyway.

It's definitely self-sabotaging. I think it might be less the COVID making you feel energetic, but the ample amount of sleeping and having no, to low, expectations that can be equally draining as actual physical expectations (as said by someone with a chronic issues and chronic pain)

Thanks for reading <3 It was different being able to easily fall asleep and just have to deal with a few issues with my body that stemmed from a central cause instead of multiple constant issues that are all jumbled. I think now that I’m finally over covid that I was able to get more done simply because my pain was focused to a single location and now it has returned to being widespread and needing 11-12 hours sleep -.- I definitely don’t want to catch covid again but tapping back into energy and out of pain would be lovely.

I guess it was nice that I was able to do things at my pace instead of being demanded to go at a speed I cannot even on my best day. Being viewed as “well” when I’m not at 100% can be exhausting. Here’s hoping for some more good days for us!
