"Getting Better" Mania Anonymous
/fit/ this is a weird question and doesn't really make sense in any board but since it is vaguely health related, I will field it here:

Does anyone other than me get into a certain kind of manic mood when they're recovering from a cold or flu? This is after all the foggy-headedness and real sickness has passed and all you're left with is a stockpile of phlegm and maybe a residually sore throat. I figure it's like some kind of delayed neural response to you feeling shitty; like, maybe when you're sick your brain is pumping out feel-good chemicals to counterbalance it and then after you get better it takes it a day or two to figure out you've gotten better and stop producing them. So in the meantime you're on this surreal mental high.

It kind of feels like you're a kid again. Everything is exciting and sparkly like you've never seen it before, and you have this manically inspired imagination just churning out amazing, if sometimes infantile, ideas all day long. You're kind of surrounded by this aura of potential, where you feel like just absolutely anything is possible. I imagine it might be what's like to be high on a tryptamine but I've never done any drugs so I wouldn't know. There's also a particular smell I associate with it, which is something like the vague scent of congealing phlegm as it gets shunted out of your nostrils. And there's that burning in your nostrils you get when a lot of waste is being pumped through them like that. In this context it's really quite a pleasant smell and sensation because you're associating it will all this other great stuff.

I asked all my friends about it and they just tell me that when they're getting better from being sick that they just feel better than they were when they were sick, but worse than they are when they're well. Not very helpful. And they all deny that there's any distinctive smell to the experience, much less a distinctive headfeel. So am I just patently insane /fit/, or does anyone here feel anything like I'm describing?

well when I havent slept for a couple of days there's a period of about an hour where bright colours seem to become even brighter and flashier. Hard to describe, kind of similar to tripping.

sounds like you'd have fun on a tryptamine, you should try one sometime.

Op here, I am actually planning on it. Main obstacle now is finding a way to get my three fucktwit roommates out of the house at the same time so I don't have to deal with their loudass music and petty squabbles pushing the trip southwards.

dude, don't even do them in the apartment.
Find a cool friend to go trip in a meadow with, or the woods.
Go somewhere beautiful. Fuck your room mates.

Fuck man, if there were somewhere beautiful like that in a 300-mile radius of where I lived I'd go and do that. But I live in the sweltering armpit of the South where just going outside means being assaulted with disgustingly unpleasant temperatures, humidity, sights, and smells. Also no friends allowed, worried too much about social anxiety and bad trips as a result.

But this isn't what the thread's about anyways. I guess absolutely nobody can relate to what the original post was about?
