I need to relax my never resting brain

Everyday by the end of it, I feel like I want to disconnect from everyone and everything online and to just switch off the lights and enjoy a show without bothering with any notifications or from any source..

Maybe I need a little break from this place, but it is really an outlet for me especially during this period..

Let’s see.. but i am tempted to disconnect for a while from most places and see what good it will do me, if any..

Why not just switch off your notifications? That way you can still use this place as your sounding board or outlet but only deal with responses etc when it's convenient to you.

@AntisocialTroll Not sure what you mean by switching off notifications.. are you on the app? I hardly use the app. I always open the website and only then I can check the notifications. So my problem isn't with notifications showing and distracting me, but with spending a lot of time here, that it becomes exhausting at the end of the day.. making my brain "hyper" if that makes sense, and I feel the need to shut everything out and just close my eyes in the dark..

@BittersweetPotato I thought you might have notifications enabled so it notify's you of stuff when you aren't here...obviously not lol.

Do you ever meditate as a way of switching off mentally? If not it might be worth trying, bare in mind it's something that takes practise to work.

I think what made my mother's sickness even more difficult during that time.

That's a good point. I remember trying to meditate back in 2020 and just failed miserably and didn't try again. But you are right, it requires practice and it can be worth while.
