benjamin, you're correct on so many levels man. Apparently the stress of the incident (being knocked out of nowhere and having my entire conception of saftey thrown out the window) caused for an acute traumatic stress episode which I've been dealing with on a day to day basis but ever since i was told it wasn't so much physical as mental I've been kind of feeling much better almost like myself again only with the depersonalization factors kind of making things a bit foggy and stressful. But The doctor who specializes in the brain and post traumatic events told me that its just part of the healing and will subside within a few months. I've been sleeping a lot easier with the medication i'm taking even if its just the minimal dose. I've had less flashbacks of the incident and I'm currently paying less and less attention to the event and the emotional after math of it. I've also been taking it easy on the flicks that i watch (I cant even watch my old snowboarding videos i used to make with friends) at least not right now since watching anything to do with snow or mountains causes me to get nervous and the anxiety / nausea comes back. I'm also like hypersensitive right now, any loud sound or even the rustle of leaves outside makes me a bit edgy but apparently all of that is normal with acute traumatic stress. Again thank you so much for your input guys its really been helpful. Hopefully the dissociation and depersonilization will slowly start to fade away again and wont come back. = )
