I am finding this thread quite interesting. Thank you Mark, for all of the information I have gathered from you by reading through this. I am at almost 10 months, and am now able to accept the things that I cannot do...at least for now. I have pretty much had to stop working at both of my jobs (as a city worker And mortgage broker) for now. I am hopeful that my acceptance of how I need to handle things now, will actually help me recover a bit...because if I'm happy, I feel much better than when I am stressed and worried.

I, too, shut down when there is a time sensitive project that involves stress.

What I've learned is that in the broad scope of life, things don't Have time limits so I can allow myself to relax. I believe things happen for a reason.

I tend to jump around from thought to though so please forgive the rambling. I've been like this for almost 10 months so sometimes just have to laugh at myself.

That's kind of the important thing I wanted to bring up in this post. We are a little different with our issues since the concussion. It seems you may both be getting a bit frustrated with each other, and that may be partially because one is not able to focus on one thought and tends to jump from one concern to another, at times not explaining himself fully. I totally understand this because I still cannot have a normal conversation without getting stuck or even saying, mid sentence " look at the Squirrel!" Then we have Mark who has a huge heart and is trying to do the best he can to help. I'm sure things need to be somewhat orderly for you, and trying to help someone who's a bit all over the map can be difficult, and really challenges the limits of what you can deal with as well.

To sum up perhaps Doozer needs to do a bit more research on his own rather than relying on Marc for answers. The only ones that know us well enough to truly know what our limits are is Us. Even my Husband doesn't know sometimes when I'm at my limit, so what does that say?

And Mark, everything you say and all of your responses help us so much. Just try to remember some of us struggle to explain ourselves properly. Because we have trouble organizing our thought.

Oh and Doozer...come to terms with the fact that you may always have set backs, and you'll be less stressed, and therefore less likely to have them.

Love you both!
