I went to the ER three months post concussion, and was basically treated like an idiot. I had not gone earlier because the initial injury did not seem serious, and then I was basically out of it for awhile and didn't realize anything was wrong with me.
My family arranged a visit with a neurologist, and I didn't want to go; I was so afraid of finding out the ER was really right!
I told my family that - if the neurologist couldn't tell me what was wrong with me, they should institutionalize me.
I was completely serious.
I think it's important to have others around who can balance your perspective. Thankfully, my neurologist started me on the path to healing.
