I just spent the last 12 days in the hospital and all of the nurses told me I need to relax more in my life to keep my brain working optimally.
The problem is that relaxing is so boring. How do you handle this? I appreciate any ideas.
Thanks everyone.
I think the root of the problem is that I have it in my mind that relaxation = boring = bad. Ultimately I need to learn that relaxing in moderation is actually good for me.
Right now I struggle so much when my mind isn’t working. Being calm isn’t pleasurable to me, which I guess I need to figure out how to change.
They also put me back on benzodiazepines when I was at the hospital which complicates the matter further by inducing a “fake” tiredness during the day.
I got a lot of insight from these responses and I’ll do my best to work with them.
Thanks again everyone.
Be careful with benzos, i say its not reccommended you are on that stuff for more than 2 weeks, and medics gives them like candy, i actually have a bad history with them, see what happened to Jordan Peterson with benzos.
Thanks. As soon as I see my psychiatrist again I’m talking to him about not taking them any longer.
