I've just come out of a very stressful work situation and now have 2 weeks annual leave. I've spent a week of it already and I haven't been out of the house! I feel like I'm in hibernation mode. I live alone and am perfectly happy ,but wondering when I'm going to get cabin fever...

About a week after I had my third baby. I had pnd with my first two and i think it's partly because I didn't let myself rest and recover properly.

Thus is interesting as I've been incredibly stressed at work and this rest feels like when you go on a fly and flop holiday and just lie there for a week. I do feel like my body and mind needs it

About 5 weeks after an injury limited my mobility.

4 weeks when I had hypermesis. I spent the whole time lying down with my head in a bucket. My hair rubbed off on one side. It was awful

3-4 days at most as even when I'm hibernating I take myself off for a walk or get out in my garden. When I'm exhausted I'm pretty happy just being at home on my own with minimal plans.

I'm normally an out and about every day type so it has surprised me how much I've been happy inside

Probably around a week, if the weather was shit.
