Compostc Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Since my SAH l thought that pushing to the limit was the way to get better. Then I watched the video flooding sensory overload and read a few other things and realised I was completely wrong. That was in November, my life is totally different now. A lot of the time the front of my brain would feel numb and I couldn’t think straight which led to numerous other problems. I realise now that I was creating problems that didn’t exist which would cause stress for weeks even months. Lockdown has helped by eliminating a lot of my triggers and I don’t push myself anymore, I’ve found I can actually do more work now. Mindfulness has also helped. lt annoys me that in all these years I couldn’t work it out myself but I suppose that’s what brain injuries do. So I’m looking forward to a much happier stress free life. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Compostc congratulations on your Ninth SAH Anniversary. Good to hear lockdown has helped eliminate a lot of your triggers and that a video about sensory overload helped you to work out making life easier. I did as you did, pushed to the limits, but soon realised when i did push to hard too fast i would go one step forwards, two steps backwards! Here is to your much happier stress free life Thanks for sharing. Take care Tina xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
