I think I have overdone it with the volume lately. I have been hitting the gym six days a week here in Texas and my resting heart rate has jumped up by ten beats per minute. I am also incredibly irritable and my appetite has completely disappeared, which is weird for me.

I am terrified that if I stop training, my muscles will just shrink. How do you recover from overtraining syndrome without losing all your gains? I have heard that active recovery like walking or swimming is better than just sitting on the couch, but I am so tired I can barely move.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What was your timeline for feeling normal again? I am worried I have done some long term damage to my central nervous system and I really need some guidance on how to scale back safely.
