Day 239
They're called dissociative episodes. The simplest way to describe it is to say that my brain reaches it's limit for stimuli and just shuts down.
My brain doesn't actually turn off. It wanders, thinking in a continuous stream of consciousness while I check out of reality and stare off into space.
Doc Brown says that they can be managed by scheduling "down time" for myself. Even if it's just 15 minutes of meditation or a quiet walk. This will be a challenge since my life tends to be an endless flow of projects and deadlines.
I'll have to learn the importance of these periodic breaks. I may even need to set my alarm to remind me at first. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you informed.
