Unhappy TBI and PCS

Hi, I am new on this forum.

I do not like to talk about it either. I'm 1 1/2 yrs out of my accident- a sports injury that I didn't cause. Moderate concussion. Broken nose and orbital floor blowout. I've a metal plate under my eye which is giving me eye problems, although my vision's better than the initial double vision, it still gives me headaches at the end of the day.

I feel like no one understands. I don't want to hear the Know it Alls saying, " You'll get better. It just takes time."
I can tell some folks dismiss my symptoms as whining.

On the other hand, I feel like other people judge me harshly and unfairly without knowing that I'm recovering (I look and act for the most part as if there's nothing wrong with me). So I feel like I can't win.

I just went through a very intensive job training program and am having trouble getting into the paperwork part of it. I've asked for an extension on the deadline because I feel I have processing problems- need a neuropsych evaluation soon. Maybe putting labels on my problems will help me (and others) to accept it.
