Looking after ourselves

Re: brain shutting down when emotionally and physically tired

@Scribbles. I relate to the clumsy state when overcome. And then I fear falling and other accidents. It's a real concern. And I bet some people have assumed I'm spaced out on drugs - when I'm like this.
Luckily, a number of people in my town now know what happened to me and that my memory sometimes fades. They are used to me asking their names all the time.
New information is hard to archive in my brain.

Re: brain shutting down when emotionally and physically tired

This happens to kids too - clumsiness and difficulty communicating when very tired - so I wonder if it's a natural process?  Simply the brain directing the limited energy available for something other than keeping us walking in a straight line/finding the words we need.

Re: brain shutting down when emotionally and physically tired

Hi @Change123

I know that when i am very very fatigued, anxious and stressed my body goes into 'meltdown' mode where I have to sleep for as long as my body needs.  I am now listening to my body when it tells me I need rest.

Hope you're okay xxxooo
