qtipsq,
I have been on a roller coaster over the last 13 months but the last 2 have gone down a lot. I hear what you are saying. I feel deeply disconnected from everyone, from my life, and from joyful experiences for the most part. I have good therapy but it's going to be a very slow process. Even though I know intellectually it will work, I don't feel it in a moment to moment basis.
You have to make a pact to keep going moment to moment. Get a lifeline like a therapist or a suicide hotline, support group, or the forum Lara suggested. I am not making light of it because I am in these feelings too.
I don't know if our situations will change. But I do know that we can change how we respond to them. It is hard but with help I learned to do it once before, so I know it can be done.
keep talking to us
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.
