You blink into existence.

You're breathing.
Your body is moving.
You hear music.

You're dancing.

You're dancing,
And you're feeling,
And for a second you know:

You're becoming yourself.

You need to remember that what neurotypicals think of as rest is stressful to our brains. Existing on the couch for hours watching something you're only semi-engaged in is not going to let your brain recover.

There's two things your brain could need and it's either stimulation or complete lack thereof. If everything is too much and sitting in silence doesn't help, what you need is something engaging that isn't your source of stress. That's the only way I've found to actually recover from things that aren't overstimulation.

Your brain will fight you because it seems like a waste of energy you don't have. It's very important that you drag yourself to the interesting thing - internally kicking and screaming if you must.
