Hi, malls are bad for PCS - about 3 weeks post accident I was in one and found myslef standing in the middle crying - didn't know which way was out or what I was doing there - apparently it was a panic attack - was told that it was too much stimulus for my brain to handle. I now have only brief visits, sometimes use ear plugs and sunglasses - just hate the noise in them the buzz of crowds is very hard on my brain!

I don't agree on what you were told about the alcohol - anything like that which can effect your brain in anyway at the moment can not be good.

Please be kind to yourself and rest. If you need to work take a short break every half hour or so and if you are tired sleep. I sure wish that I had practised what I now preach!
