Rest basically means don't do anything that makes you feel worse.

Hard to do. Even harder to find something to replace your normal activities.

I colored while listening to movies. I had no idea what the movies were about, but they provided quiet noise in the background to cover the "noise" in my brain, and the coloring gave me something physical to do.

Partial list of symptoms: (Physical - noise/light sensitivities, balance problems, headaches, sleeplessness) (Mental - brain fog, severe lack of awareness, difficulty expressing ideas - or thinking in the first place!, struggle with simple problems) (Emotional - anger, depression, inability to handle/control emotions) (Social - generally inept - thanks to everyone for allowing me to "practice" some social and communication skills on this forum)
