Tamisue, I'm glad I helped put it into some words others can relate to, it is really hard to do when you're in the middle of it, as it brings on more anxiety when you simply can't explain yourself. And thanks Mark for spacing my paragraph out, I'm sorry I did not do that myself.

I am not trying to say that concussion is not a brain injury; I know very well that it is, and I respect completely those who have the strength to adapt to their injury; it is a very hard thing to accept.

What I am saying is that it is a vicious cycle, it's the nature of the beast, so to speak, of derealization. If the condition of derealization does not have an organic basis, the belief of having damage to your brain is very harmful. It's a trigger of anxiety, which keeps the condition of derealization alive, and it causes depression.
