went to a club last sat after 4 months of being too ill... i felt human again. is this normal

so context: ive got a mixed bag of stuff (fibro, ibs, mild ME) and ive been in a bad patch since january. mostly housebound, lost a lot of social life, marriage has been strained, ive felt like a sick person more than a person. last sat we forced ourselves to go to a small club night about 40 min from us. i was nervous, paid for it the next 3 days, but during that night... i felt like ME again. like a woman, a sexual person, not a patient. not a wife managing illness. just me. we didnt even play much, just chatted w a lovely couple and danced a bit. is it weird that a few hours in a club did more for my mental health than 4 months of careful self care. do other chronic illness ppl in the LS feel this
