Some advice I gave to a writing partner this morning who asked if it's possible to write too hard and break your brain, lol.
When I feel like this, I find it’s my brain telling me it needs to refuel. #cosowriters
So just like you shouldn’t do a hardcore workout & then do another one without resting for a day or 2 & refueling your body with food & water first, you shouldn’t force your brain to keep going if it’s telling you it’s tired & needs to replenish. This is something I’ve had to learn the hard way, especially with both fibromyalgia induced brain fog & ADHD, because it seems like my brain needs rest & refueling OFTEN. And it is SO FRUSTRATING. But ya gotta do it. <3 #cosowriters
@meganpaasch the day after a workout I feel so great and my body is like “yeah do another one today” but I have learned (?) the hard way too many times that two workouts in a row at my age and with my physical/mental issues is a recipie for 3 days of feeling terrible…
@dobleAdeA Ahahaha yes, exactly! I will have a fibro flare if I do too many physical things two days in a row, even if I feel at the time like I'll be fine.
