Distraction

Does anyone else find distraction impossible because their mental or physical symptoms are too powerful and overwhelming?

At first I could not distract. It was an attempt to distract. Anything was an attempt. Attempt to nap, attempt to walk... horrible. Today I can see that it was like re-leraning to swim or ride a bike for my brain... I had to do things a lot before I felt I really could do them (with my brain)..

Only things that actively engage my brain works, like playing interactive games, watching tv and crochet at the same time. It's very tiring

Watch TV. I'm sorry you aren't better yet. Hang in there. Everything I have read you will get better. You cold turkeyed and it appears it takes longer. I find that the television helps  me alot. When I wake up in the middle of the night I turn it on and am able to fall asleep quickly. If not, I start thinking about my problems that I never had before my tapering began. I just thought I took a sleeping pill. I couldn't stay asleep. Now, I have to go through this. It's annoying but not that bad at all compared what others are going through.

I've tried watching TV. It doesn't distract me at all.
