Default Life upside down

11/30/15 is when everything changed I was at a red light coming home from a well deserved massage and from the light I could see the entrance to my neighborhood. I look in my rearview mirror and notice headlights getting brighter and bigger. The guy did not even attempt to stop and smashed me in the rear and ran me into the car in front of me and at that moment everything changed.

I'm about 10 mths post accident and getting a few things back that I once had. I can remember more parts of the accident that I don't like reliving. I can now watch my beautiful 3 year old daughter by myself now but that is still a struggle. I'm able to go to work and not look like a total zombie. I still go to the doctors or some type of PT every week. I am currently dealing with bad head aches, depression, gained over 60 pounds, light sensitivity, hearing sensitivity, blood pressure, dizziness and fatigue and many more things.

I have lost a lot of time that I will never get back with my family. I can't even enjoy the dream house I had built for my wife that we moved into 4 days before the accident. We are going to Disney for Halloween and I will miss a lot of memories with my daughter bc I wont be able to get on a lot of the rides with her. I'm currently looking for a psychologist and try relearn to not hate the world and handle my anger better. People always ask me how I feel and whats it like my only response is watch the movie Concussion.

Hello chadspaulding: Welcome to NeuroTalk. I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

From what you wrote, it sounds as though there may be several forums, here on NT, that may be of interest to you. One forum, in particular, you may want to visit, is the post concussion forum:

I send you my best wishes for success with your ongoing efforts to heal.
