not broke brain, broke chemisty

Hi Rolani,

Low thyroid's a very subtle disrupter of your life - and I'm glad your doc caught it. Don't be surprised if you find you need 9+ hours of sleep for a while, even with medication. The tip on the B vitamins and other supplements is good, also consider some weight training if you are able to get to the gym, building muscle can boost your metabolism. What has worked best for me is setting mini goals - a friend once told me that you can do anything for 15 minutes - so that's what I use to get through a stalled spot, break things into 15 minute chunks and Focus intently for those 15 minutes. Might be too short for writing but maybe an 30 minutes to 45 minutes. In any event, remind yourself you are fighting messed up chemistry more so than dried up will.
