I had alot of anger, frustration, anxiety and wild mood swings the first year post-accident

What worked for me was to get moving, I was and still am noise and light sensitive so I wear sunglasses and ear buds with my favorite music - well that would be Bruce Springsteen- and I get outside and walk til I wear off some of the anger and anxiety. I cannot meditate sitting still but I can let my mind relax if I am moving. I focus on the music and eventually I can calm myself. When my fatigue was at its worst I could only walk for 15 min but I did that as often as I could. I can still only exercise for 30 min at a time but that 30 min makes a huge difference in my moods.

Also, acupuncture has been a life saver for me. I go every 2 weeks and it helps with the anxiety and fatigue.
