Mark, thanks again. I am seeing a psychiatrist and a neurologist. They also recommended taking B12 and Folic so starting that right away.

I just don't know how to keep moving forward when I feel nothing like myself, and can't connect and communicate with a single person out there. I'm 24, all my friends are dispersed all over the country, and none live near me. When I talk to them on the phone, I feel like I'm a stranger that I don't even recognize. I am alone all day, and constantly fighting depression, you're right.

I am worried about starting depression medication because that might mess with my thinking even if it begins to clear. I took depression medication 6 years ago when my father passed away, and felt like they just confused me. My doctor mentioned anxiety medication, but my heart racing/ panic moments are very rare (less than once every 4 days). When I feel anxiety building up, I try to engage in some activity and that pretty much stops the panic because I'm also very aware that anxiety is counter-productive regardless of if I'll ever get better.

The only reason I don't think what I am experiencing is just depression is because of actual physical headaches I feel all day when trying to think. Also, as mentioned earlier, the two days since July when things did begin to clear up, I felt extreme mental exhaustion and pain as I tried to communicate.

I hear you. I'll stop trying to diagnose. I just wonder if the same treatments you are suggesting (mild stimulation, rest, good brain blood flow) would work for me considering I have none of the other symptoms commonly experienced by multiple concussion patients. Realizing here, like you said that no two brain injuries are the same.
