What's up my wood friends, I need advice from experienced /out/liers. Sorry for the long essay.
Basically, I probably need to clear my head. I've been working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week for a few years now without a break. Lately, I've been sleeping 14+ hours a day, so I underwent shitload of medical examinations (around 40 blood and urine tests, MRIs, sleep labs, and shit) and they found nothing. Drugs from psychotherapist also did nothing.
So even though I don't feel stress, it might just be my brain being overloaded. My work is mentally exhausting, and when I'm not working, I'm still just reading books and shit. So yeah, I have 7 days of vacation, so I thought I'll just go innawoods, and be alone with my mind. I won't bring anything "productive" like books, or anything else that makes my brain work. No phone also (only emergency).
The thing is---will I die? I have experience with staying innawoods, but I've never been alone. And never in shitty weather like this (~13 celsium/55 fahrenheit, slight breeze, possible slight rain). My hammock sadly didn't arrive yet, so I'll have to sleep on the ground, which will be pretty fucking cold in the morning with these temperatures I can imagine. I'll bring 2000 cals/day of food (my TDEE is little higher, but it will do). Our forests are pretty safe, the most dangerous thing in them is wild boars and people. I don't have a gun, but I have a few pepper sprays and formal training with knife and baton.
