My psychologist thinks I might have been able to cope, without the meds, because premorbid me was calm, to the point of comatose.  Sometimes who we were before matters.
Still, if something super stressful happens in my life, I'm not ruling out needing a little chemical help.
Did you have anxiety issues prior to your injury? |
I did but they were very manageable. Nothing like I'm experiencing now. As long as I can distract myself with something I feel ok but the minute I remember my PCS I'm back to feeling like garbage. Haven't properly ate since this whole thing happened. It's mainly the stomach and sleep issues causing the anxiety i think.
