Hi! Unfortunately I got sick for Christmas and had to stay home; but as I was trying to rest, it almost felt like I physically could not keep up with my mind. It felt uncomfortable to think idly, and of course there wasn’t much I could do to help that. Not sure if I tried meditating, and if I did, I didn’t say “I’m gonna meditate now,” if you know what I mean.

I’ve tried looking it up and the results mostly talk about “brain fog,” and while that may have been a small part of it, I wouldn’t describe this experience as such.

Has anyone else had this experience? Like normal ADHD brain is exhausting and hurts while sick?

    Get out your thoughts in a list or application so you can let yourself get it out and move on mentally

    • task
    • appointment
    • event
    • expense/purchase
    • question
    • idea
    • link
    • file

    Ask yourself if its any of these and then input it where it is tracked and stored with a date to act or delete it upon

    Give yourself permission to let it dissolve if you’ve filed it properly. This might take a bit of time when starting but once its established you just do your workflow for filing it and train yourself to let it go once you’ve had a few small wins validating the system
