I'm so sorry that you are going through this, Galaxy.

I had similar feelings during the first month or two of my concussion. I cried constantly and was like, "Why me? Why does God hate me so much? My life is over." I mean, I really felt like it was over and I had nothing to offer anyone.

Thankfully, that got better with time. I'm 6 months in now, and I feel a little bit better each day. My doctor originally said I'd recover within a few weeks...then a few months...and now he's saying a year or two. Recover fully, that is.

As far as your walking goes, I am up to 1.5 miles a day now. I used to struggle to even walk .25 of a mile. I would take 5 or 10 minute walks, very slowly. Now I do 1.5 miles in less than 30 minutes. For me, that's a huge improvement.

You're on the right track with your meds and supplements, it seems. I think you will continue to improve. I think I had a big improvement around 4 months. I'd have to check my journals.

Do you have an iPhone? I have an app called Map My Walk. It makes it easy for me to increase my mileage by just a little bit each day. It keeps track of how far you walk and how long it takes. That keeps me from overdoing it.
