Yes. I could be having a wonderful day and think I'm making pretty good progress in my recovery...and then BAM!!!...something stressful happens like an argument with the ex-fiance or a family member and everything comes crashing down on me.

This happened to me just yesterday. I came back from getting my adjustment and was having a fairly decent day...and then I got into a text argument with my ex-fiance about my son. It pretty much ruined my day...cognitive functions dropped substantially.

Umm, I'm not really quite sure what to say? Your dealing with a lot right now considering what's going on with your son. I wish your son would realize what stress does to you. Have you explained it to him? Does your husband work full-time? You mentioned he is your son's step-dad. I'm sure your son wouldn't respond well to him dealing with the problems your having with him; considering it's not your son's real father. Maybe you should have someone else in the family that he is close with help with any stressful situation your having regarding your son.

Have you tried speaking to your son calmly? I know catching him with pot is a big thing and your quite upset about it...but maybe he will respond better to you sitting him down and having a one on one with him. I think this will minimize the stress.

Your not alone, though. I also have issues when it comes to stress. Yes, it makes everything worse. You aren't "getting worse" though, if that makes sense? Your still recovering, your not going backwards, it's just the PCS brain doesn't handle stress very well.

I really wish I had more to offer you.

If I can come up with anything else I will be sure to post.
