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?
Did you take your ADHD meds while you were ill?
I often get that if I take my ADHD meds when I’m sick; I’m either thinking of loads of different things and then eventually get motivated to attempt something with mixed results, or I don’t take my ADHD med and have a rest/relax day where I go I’m just gonna play a game, cosied up in bed or watch something and fall asleep
