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.

im pretty sure thats why i keep posting here so that i know im not losing my mind becsue no one else knows what im going through. even my assistant basketball coach who had to quit since she had 3 concussions doesnt know all the stuff im going through. i just want someone to understand i guess. i know im not in denial i just dont want to stop playing which is stupid because i have my whole life ahead of me i just like it too much.
i just like knowing someone else understands what im going through i couldnt imagine trying to go throguh this alone. and i want to find out if my new symptoms are very severe or not thats probably the biggest reason.
