Welcome, Tamara.

I just want you to know that you aren't alone struggling with this "lonely downward spiral". Seek out as much support as you can. Over time I have gotten better at explaining, but I have also gotten better at accepting that people will not understand a lot of what I'm going through. Check out the references Grace and Lara gave you - they helped me. Keep us posted.

Julie

About me: Married 45yo mother of two girls. In July 2014, I hit my head on the side of the pool; since then I've had 3 lesser concussions, one of which was due to MVA.

For the 5-10 years prior to that I’ve had what I now realize were possibly 20+ undiagnosed concussions or sub-concussions. Likely most of these result from Duane's Syndrome, for which I now have prism glasses. Have successfully done vestibular therapy and plan to start vision therapy.

Current companions: Significant depression, anxiety, hyperacusis, difficulty with verbal expression (recall & word mixups), mild spacial/vestibular issues. Feelings of disconnect in relationships.
