Detailed Answer:
Hello dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query
I understand your concern
There are various type of post olympic syndrome like chronic fatigue, depression, and overtraining syndrome. Increased catabolism, depression, infections,
and the stress of training combined with other stresses, may all lead to fatigue and underperformance.
I request you to inform me which type of symptoms do you have.
Overall it will manage as follow:
1. Rest:
- Take rest for 3-4 week.
- If you are still able to work and function in normal life, a regime of relative rest
using gentle non-competitive exercise often in a different sport with no measure of performance available is useful.
- Low level of exercise is easily tolerated and the psychological and
physical benefits will help speed recovery (help for maintaining cardiovascular fitness)
- Spend more time with family and friends
- Recall your positive and good things
2. Relaxation exercise:
Reduction in all stresses with rest, sleep, relaxation therapy, counselling, massage, hydrotherapy and physiotherapy.
Vitamin and mineral supplements will helpful.
Generally recovery will occur in 3-8 week.
I advise you to reduce training and and competition stress for up to 4 months.
Hope I have answered your query
If you have further query then I will be happy to help you
Stay healthy
Best regards

You are mentally stressed just due to training and competition stress.
It will recover in 3-8 week.
Just be relax and do not think about the future and professional growth right now.
By thinking, your symptoms will be aggravated.

Just decide the goal of the next day only. Once your stress phase will over, you can think about your future.
Take following advises:
Start with your low level exercise and then increased gradually
Do medication like yoga

Be creative and play mind games
Take more green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits with vitamin and mineral supplements.
