I gained a great deal of compassion for athletes with head injuries after my accident, I thought they were fakers...it was just a concussion.
I try to mostly keep things to myself. I found no one can understand the dark symptoms of pcs, how can they when we can't even really describe them accurately half the time.
My wife listens but this place was a real Gosend for me,finally people who knew I wasn't faking or whining!

I am finding this a safe place, too. That is why I am posting a lot right now. I have two friends who had serious brain injuries. Both were on bikes about 20 years ago and both were hit by cars, both in coma for long times! I know them both because they are friends with each other. They are the nicest people I know but they do not have mTBI, they have serious damage.
They are both the nicest people you will ever meet. Never mad at anyone and both very very smart. One is still a biologist! The other was a gifted musician but cannot anymore.
I told the one but not the other. The one (musician) is so empathetic and kind that he does support me even thought I "just have Mtbi or concussion". The other would but I agree.....keep it to myself is best in most cases.
Of course, I do know other people with brain injuries who have not come around like these two. So it is just scary all around because you just don't know . And till they finish brain mapping project, they won't know. If fact, that may not even help because each brain is different.
THanks for the reply and support.
