This is mentally taxing to the point of mental fatigue. Then for the brain to have active parts even while sleeping, to be in REM sleep but parts awake....
Can this cause a significant amount of brain aging in a person where the brain is actually older than the body? Headache causing? Brain cramps? Brain cringing?
We often times, even during the day, are literally too tired to think. I know I’m physically tired at times....but days and hours on end of furious nonstop brain activity....
Then with a bipolar drive to it...
Or am I just getting old?

my therapist tells me that non dissociative people multi task and think about many things at once too. since being integrated I have found out that this is true, my wife will be taking care of a child, while getting dinner, while answering my question, and selecting her next days clothing, all the wile keeping each of these thoughts and actions on track and appropriate. my co worker can be thinking about her new date, while thinking about a case she is working on while answering the phone.... and me well that gets a bit interesting. I can be thinking row row row, while rowing my canoe while at the same time thinking what am I going to do about such and such, and wow look at that a loon over there, and also think that boater got too close to me I better move on over....
I do get mental fatigue now but before I was integrated no i never did. when I woke up i was fresh and ready for the day. I thought it was cool how other parts of me could do things when I wasnt aware, get things done that I could not handle and I could continue on as if nothing was happening. even those I was co conscious with I didnt get tired because I was having my dissociative symptoms of numbnss, spaced out and mentally disconnected from the physical aspects of what my body and brain were doing.
