OMG, I so hear you. People keep suggesting all these things for the chronic fatigue symptoms and brain fog that I'm having. And I'm like, omg, can someone just acknowledge my state instead of telling me all the stuff I have already tried or do or stuff I'm not interested in? Like telling me I need more exercise. Or change my diet. Or other crap that I either have already tried or done. I appreciate suggestions when I ask for them (key there: when I ask) but I get tired of people ramming things down my throat, things that are completely anecdotal and based on like no medical knowledge or even just biological knowledge.

Anyways, I feel ya on coloring too. I'm an artist and coloring is not soothing for me. I enjoy painting greatly, but it's not a soothing activity for me.
