I have a complicated medical history I got sick at 18mos and suffered from prolonged lite oxygen after several months of trying different antibiotics my mom argued to treat me for asthma he refused and she got me treated by a different doctor but by then damage done I lost motor skills speech and had minor brain damage.

But after that I had just about every type of seizure I also have global dyspraxia, spatial issues, congenital hip dysplasia, low muscle tone, an unspecified connective tissue disorder that isn't bad enough to be ehlers danlos but follows it, asthma and due to low oxygen my left side is weaker and damaged similarly to how a stroke can cause damage I know there's more that had/have but I space on the long list.

What it pretty much boils down to is that as kid I was seizure and accident prone I'm prolly one of the few people that can say they've done the Charlie Brown flip lol sadly it was on the sidewalk and hurts a lot more than they make it look sadly I wasn't trying. And by the time I was a teenager I hard enough bump to the head could result in a concussion and I learned to be aware of everything around me but sometimes I would miscalculate and hit my head or not notice what someone's doing and end up getting hit.

I've thought about taking to someone but it's only been the past few months that it really got to me. And it wasn't until I was trying to date someone that I enjoyed talking to and hanging out with but couldn't emotionally connect with home even tho I wanted to and I tried and I just felt guilty.

Since I grew up getting a new diagnosis every few years I've learned that the best thing to do is research I've learned it's better to have an idea of what's going before going to doctors. I knew it was connected to the concussion at first I thought it was just that I lost some of my memory and while I haven't regained any memory I lost I thought maybe making new ones would help and while I don't have the memories I have the information kinda like reading a book

I can tell you the facts and I can piece together what happened but I have an almost photographic memory and can usually recall things easily in detail so I thought at first it was just my brain struggling or that it was my subconscious showing frustration at the lack of details in what I could remember and that I didn't lose just memories from a block of time like I did with other concussions

I'd lose a few months and would have issues connecting names and faces this time it was scattered and with some I know what happened but I don't remember going thru it and others it's just blank. It's frustrating at times.
