This may seem counter intuitive but I seem be seeing a pattern between spending a lot of time laying down, and feeling worse.
The problem is that my symptoms are very flared up to the point where I feel like I need to spend a lot of my day lying down, but i'm not sure if its helping.

A few possible reasons I have thought of:

1. Laying down reduces blood flow throughout the body and thus to the brain

2. I have tension in my neck likely related to my symptoms and a pillow may be jarring to neck muscles

3. Laying down might not be good for general posture.

3. I've struggled with anxiety and some depression from the injury, and especially for someone like me who was very active and has adhd, I find that when I'm lying down and doing nothing I tend to be less happy and have negative/racing thoughts.

Honestly I'm not positive of this correlation but it seems to hold fairly true and I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same thing or knew whether any of the above reasons could be making me feel worse

Thanks
