Hello everyone,

On September 1st, 2014 I got a concussion, however I did not know it was a concussion until end of November 2014. Since then I saw a Concussion Specialist for a couple months. For months I had problems with vision, memory, balance, and foggy head (caused by light and noise sensitivity).

By the beginning of March the Concussion Specialist said I had healed fully. All physical symptoms were gone. My reading was back to normal, my memory, my balance (with help from Vestibular Therapy) and my vision. With that said, I still said I felt a little weird, but admitted it hasn't been caused by sensitivity to light or noise.

The doctor then said it was caused by anxiety and depression. When I began to think about it, it made sense. For months I have been obsessing over my symptoms, and constantly worried I won't feel well, or constantly asking myself "how do I feel?" I then began to think that it is all subconscious. I literally struggle with not questioning myself. It has even gotten so bad that I sometimes question the purpose of everything I do, and reality as a whole.

For help with this anxiety, I have been seeing a Bio Feedback specialist. She is very helpful, and have seen some improvements over the past couple of weeks. With that said, I still do struggle somewhat, and it can be very frustrating. I sometimes wonder if even though all the signs of concussion are gone (nothing showed up on EEG or MRI either) if I still do have some symptoms caused by a concussion, or if it is all anxiety, depression, and some OCD.

When I know I had the concussion, I would feel fine laying down, but the second I would sit or stand up, I would feel like the world was distorted (really foggy) and confused. Now, I just feel somewhat isolated even when I am laying down. I think this is a sign of anxiety rather than a concussion, but I am not 100% sure.

I have been taking St. John's Wort (vitamin) for the past week, and have seen some improvements in my mood, but basically I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this anxiety and depression, or currently is?? If so please let me know, and let me know what you did to cope with it, and learn to beat it.
