Thanks guys, I'm not quoting either post because I'm actually responding basically to both.
First of all, thank you very much for welcoming me to the boards in this candid manner. I realize that my post concussive symptoms are also exasperated because of my relative young age (24m, 25 in a few days) in concurrence with my brain development. obviously my facilities with words have come back to me, but math and physics... thats a different story. Essentially Im an engineering student with two jobs, so i know this is going to be a long recovery process. I've cut back on hours so much that i only work two shifts a week ,the bare minimum. I bit the bullet and took out a loan, it was the only logical thing to do at the time. Health>School>Work, as i've finally grown to learn. (please excuse my laziness in regards to capitalizing i's)

I realize my thoughts ruminate about the subject, and that the ego of my brain has caused this distortion of the truth, even to myself. As i sat here typing all of this, i realize how exhausted i am. Sat and sunday were my work days, and i filled in for someone on monday. The welbutrin keeps my sleep very shallow, and i wake up on a drop of a dime (very little REM sleep).

I guess it just helps to sort out my thoughts on the subject. its funny. I had ED problems before on medication, but i cured that with a lot of exercise. Well, i can't do that now. However, I realize that it could be a combination of my medication, exhaustion and the pure stress and anxiety i have about my performance. And i guess today is one of my bad days. I realize two months isn't that long, but some of my symptoms *seem* so severe to me that I really wanted to reach out now.

Also, before i was on my welbutrin but after my concussion, i was too anxious or stressed to even achieve a morning erection. Welbutrin let me have those again, but its hit or miss depending on my relative stress levels. I dunno. I just like your thoughts. Thanks for the calming and warm welcome. I suppose I am simply apprehensive to be a young man on ED meds.
