You said, "I keep meaning to take vit B supplements but is it too late for them to have a genuine restorative effect? Am I doing too much or is it ok to push a bit? My specialist said it's ok to do so in that the benefits of leading a fulfilling life do have a positive effect etc."

It is never too late to take good brain health supplements. They are not for healing only. They are to help your brain tolerate stress. in other words, They do not cause healing directly. They create a healthy condition where your brain can heal easier.

Only you can tell how much pushing your brain can tolerate. This is a skill you need to acquire. Understanding the little triggers and little 'pre-symptoms' will help you learn this skill. If you find yourself needing to put extra effort to remember or understand a issue, you have likely pushed too hard. The goal should be to learn to organize your life so you don't need to try to multi-task.

Little steps to stop or reset from a trigger can make a big difference.

For example, with your students, you can teach them to be magic rocks or silent rocks or what ever they like to call it. When they are getting too loud, you call out, silent rock. The first to get on the floor in a silent ball like a rock wins. Notice who is last and next time, give them a hint to be ready for silent rock.

There are many variations of these games to get the kids focused and quiet. Those few moments of quiet may be just enough to help you regain your focus and prevent an overload.

Your brain will thank you and your 6 and 7 year old will like it better when you come home in one piece.

My best to you.
