So I have had moderate M.E for the past 6ish years but in the last 6 months after catching covid in June I have been bed bound and severe. I am finally starting to come out of that, moving more towards moderate again - though I still spend most of my time in bed. I can now look at my phone, watch TV, even do some colouring. My problem is now I cannot make myself aggressively rest. I will lie down but I can't stop looking at my phone. I also have ADHD and I think this is a factor but I want to know your tips for actually resting and forcing yourself to have no stimulus. I was so good at it for so many months and now I feel like I am experiencing freedom after so many months of pain and I can't control myself.
Written with speech to text as I'm meant to be resting so sorry for any formatting or clunkiness
