I can really relate to that! Conversations take a lot out of me and can leave my head buzzing for hours afterward.

My biggest struggle 14 months out: As I heal, I do more, then pay for it by taking steps backward. Who thought that just trying to visit with people could still do this?!

Just started with a new psychologist who is a brain injury specialist. In the midst of testings and then will get his suggestions. If there is anything helpful, I'll post here.

So far it's just a journal of what happens and how I feel. Overwhelmed is a running theme so far, but it's been an unusual week.

My horse had an eye injury and it's all I can do to care for him, let alone other things. I am good with one thing in front of me at a time, but switching gears back and forth is taxing.

Every time I think this is finally done, something wipes me out again. My life as an "over achiever" has to be done, but it's hard to change the habits and self expectations!
