“ART will not work if you spend the time stressing or doing mentally or emotionally demanding activity. This includes most exciting media and almost all socialization and all social media.” So, if you’re not supposed to socialize too much, how is spending time with OOP supposed to be mutually beneficial for the unpaid caretaker? Granted, this website seems like an attempt to medically justify bedrotting. It goes so far to say that muscles reconditioning from underuse is to be expected and not as bad as the damage from exerting excess energy for things that aren’t directly related to survival. I’m not sure if OOP is using that strict of a definition, but still. I’m not a doctor, but limiting all physical, mental, and emotional activity to the barest of minimums long-term does not sound like a healthy coping strategy.
