In my experience, one needs to learn to recognize the early signs of brain fatigue. For me, if I was reading, I would find myself rereading a line to make sense of it. I might start trying to squint to see something. My eyes might start to feel tired. I might need to work harder to focus on a task.

There are plenty of other ways one might shows signs of fatigue. Learning to read our own bodies is important. Pushing through the fatigue just extends the time needed to recover.

Default I am so in tears...

I have been struggling so much with all of this. I can't read, noise, being in an environment that has too much stuff (grocery store), vision loss, nausea, vertigo...I am over a year out since my car accident. Extreme emotional dysfunction especially when stressed..... I have felt so alone. I have had people tell me mind over matter....well my mind is so broken.

Knowing what it is like myself, I certainly wouldn't wish it on anyone, but I am really glad I found this site.
