Truths! An article I found very useful for understanding ways to rest and relax is "The New Psychology of Relaxation and Renewal" by Jonathan C. Smith, PhD {Biofeedback Volume 35, Issue 3, pp. 85-89, 2007}. I believe this work offers us an extremely valuable, pragmatic framework of understanding which is applicable to recovery from, or prevention of, chronic illness.
One of the things I have found most beneficial personally on this front is the "Sleep RX" program of the "Brain Tap" app. Really quieted my mind a lot [and hence a rest from the constant chatter in my head] through half an hour listening per day.
As your Partner, I know all too well the importance of you “resting.” It is so vital to this illness. I cannot stress that enough to all of you who suffer from this disease. Great article. 😌
I love that you touched on not feeling it is your responsibility to educate everyone in your orbit concerning your experience... the resources are there for others to explore - time dedicated to your health priorities and responsiveness is most crucial🌻
