Hi Randomguy,

Like your situation, I went back to work being told I was ready. WCB had sent me to all sorts of specialists as well. It felt great being back at work with everyone, but I started to backslide Into a relapse within the first few days and I continued to push through it for the next two months. When I followed up with a neuropsychologist, she told my husband and I that I needed to stop everything again. It's been about 2 months since my relapse and am now able to start doing things slowly testing my symptoms.

I highly doubt that you are going to die, but it's always a good idea to have a will.

The Have you paid attention to your breathing during these meetings? I only ask because you say it was like as a child when you would hyperventilate. Perhaps your breathing has altered during these meetings and you could take some control over that.

It sounds like you've been part of this group for longer than I have. I am only about 10 months Post concussion, So forgive me as I'm missing some of the background I'm sure.

When you say that lately you've been having trouble, would the trouble have started when the divorce started. Like you said, added stress can make symptoms worse. I know it does for me, and I'm sure it must be very difficult having someone who was so close to you completely disregard your condition. Do you have children from this marriage as well?

This is a lot for anyone to deal with, and it might be an idea to check into just temporarily going on something to help fight depression, or reduce anxiety, and although vitamins help, there are times that people need more than that while going through a tough situation such as yours.

Try to relearn some of the strategies of relaxing if you learned them before. If not, try listening to some guided meditation (even if that sounds lame to you) at least at bed time.

I hope things start getting better for you soon.
