welcome here
Hello!
It's so scary to be going through all the changes you are feeling and observing. It's really good you are observing it and verbalizing your dissassociated feelings and anxiety too. Your symptoms are real and so is PCS.
NeuroTalk is a great place and many good people will weigh in here with support and ideas. Mark and Ester were right. If the Zoloft doesn't seem to be working for you, then see what else might work.
The anxiety will pass, but it's important to be aware of it.
Mark was also right about the CTE. I hope you stop with contact sports and preserve your brain. You only get one brain.
Do read up on the vitamins and nutrition for healing your brain.See the sticky at the top here. I am a huge believer in good supplements and good food. I know it has helped me and I hope it will help you too.
Know that you can get better from PCS and everyone has their own journey with it -- just as no 2 brain injuries are the same either.
Keep asking your questions and let us know how you are too.
Sincerely,
Poetrymom

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
