My psychologist thinks I might have been able to cope, without the meds, because premorbid me was calm, to the point of comatose. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif) 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.
