bunny,

So that explains AP organic chemistry for a non-high school student. It was confusing idea to evaluate.

As for the One a Day, even the High Potency is very low potency. They use the RDA for their values. The RDA values are far too low for an injured body.

What herbs and such are you consuming?

For rest, I mean taking a few weeks away from the intensity you are involved in. You may enjoy your intellectual endeavors but your brain needs a break. You sounds like a Type A ADD/ADHD personality. This alone can lead to psychosis.

Your history playing soccer means you have suffered more than your share of head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive. The accumulate to a point of brain injury. Add a full diagnosed concussion or two and your brain is in tough shape.

As one who was part of the academic achievers in high school, I have followed my classmates. Those with the highest pressure to achieve and desire to achieve have had the highest rate of depression and bi-polar disorder. The brain has only so much tolerance for stress.

Recent research has demonstrated that multi-tasking is damaging to the brain. Just because people can do it does not mean it is good for the brain. The stress chemicals that build up in the brain can be devastating.

If you can not find a way to slow down and rest your brain cognitively, you will never get better. You risk getting much worse.

I have almost 40 years experience running my own businesses, with up to three at a time. I know what the stress does to the brain. I had to make changes in my choices for my mental health. What is the use of working so hard if you can't take time off to relax and decompress.

The injured brain needs continuous quiet rest not periodic rest. The concept of taking a sabbatical is to rest from work so the brain and body can recharge. My signature verse "be still" can also be more accurately be translated "Cease striving." I quote it because I know how much the brain needs this cessation from effort.

I have an invention in the pipeline right now. I hired a consultant to handle communications with potential licensees or those interested in purchasing my patent. I did this to remove the stress from my daily life. It is well worth it.

I also know that getting the proper health care, even when I need to spend cash because it is not covered by insurance, is worth it. It helps me be functional and productive.

You have choices to make. There are no quick fixes or ways to beat the system.
