It's good that you keep posting here. It's a sign that you know you need medical help and sooner or later you'll accept that.

Denial is a big symptom of a TBI. Like you, I spent months convinced that first, I was perfectly fine and then that I could just will my way through all the symptoms. While I was doing this, I was way less functional than you are. It's part of the injury.

You're lucky because you've got people here who understand what's happening to you and won't stop encouraging you to get help until you finally do. I went through the denial stage alone. I had no idea what was happening and half the time I thought I was losing my mind.

Please don't write us off as a bunch of old nags - we're just trying to spare you a lot of the agony we've already been through.

The truth will set you free.
