I completely agree. fear is crippling. I ask myself everyday if I can accept the new me and a lot of weird thought s come to mind. I am not me, this PCS is not me. It has taken my core personality away from me and if I am not me then who am I and do I really care for this person that I have become. I have no passions, no job, no hope for a future, I am disabled and my doctors and society al large doesn't see or believe n my lack of ability. I am giving myself 5 years to a full recovery and if that does not happen my mind come sup with weird scenarios. I hope I can be strong enough to keep on keeping on. Life has become recovery instead of life. Laupaula I am with you as my accident happened in a very stupid manner and now it has stolen everything in my life that was once so good.
