Hello all, I am 5 and a half months into PCS and I am 28. I have light and sound sensitivity, tinnitus, extreme sensitivity to potholes and bumps on road, all this has been improving at a painfully slow pace every month. Lately I have been feeling dull pain in my lower forehead and around the eyes probably because I have more screen time at my work since a couple of days. I feel sleepy a lot throughout the day even though I sleep quite ok at night and get around a decent 9-10 hour sleep.

I feel very irritated by the time its evening and my mood changes very rapidly. Bright lights make me feel even more irritated and I feel exhausted and annoyed as the day progresses. I cant think of anything different that I am doing apart from a little more screen time at my workplace these days, tapering off xanax ( halved my dose since about 10 days after taking 0.25mg for a month) and stress of being stuck in this forever while looking at my friends having a time of their life and getting married and switching to better jobs.

I have zero physical activity and I have put on 10 kgs since the injury. I can feel its effects as I feel breathless in the middle of my sleep at night. My Tinnitus frequency has been changing since I have halved my xanax dose although overall its much better than before and quieter. I am very depressed because of my health crises and dont know where I am heading towards. The part of my head where I was hit feels sore and has constant dull ache even after this long.

As I mentioned before, I am experiencing some changes in this week like irritation and rapid mood changes by evening, sleepiness, dull pain around eyes and lower forehead, dizziness during any activity which is a new symptom and changing tinnitus frequency. Whats your thought on all this ? Do I just need a small outing to get refreshed? I think I do

Also maybe getting into a habit of short walks will improve things ?
