Nt=15-17
3♦ was natural
It made 5 but that could be resulting(it can be held too 4 with how I played it, it can not be set with any defense that I can see)
Was my bid crazy, is there any sane bid?

What would 2♦ have been? Could he have shown diamonds at a lower level?
I don't think the bid is crazy. You have two 6 card suits. You can expect to lose 2-3 clubs and 1 heart and 1 diamond. Except hopefully partner can cover 1 of those and you won't lose a 3rd club.
It's red at IMPs, and and the opening leader may be endplayed a lot.

Only thing that seems "sane" is to bid 3♥ but if partner can pass that, I really don't like that option so only chance is to bid our likeliest game.
Of course you have a huge problem if 4♥ gets doubled cause now you have no idea if you should be in 5♣ or even in 5♦.
