Nick,

Where did you get this idea? <Its not freakin stress..because stress doesn't cause permanent cognitive and neurological deficits, okay? >

You don't necessarily have permanent cognitive deficits. You likely have re-occurring cognitive deficits. You never link together enough stress free days to start to get better. Stress will prevent you from getting better. And, as I have said before, it is not worry stress it is those things that shut your brain down.

But then, I have only lived on this roller coaster for 12 years. I have a big advantage in that I have learned how to let go of those day to day PCS annoyances that cause stress. I don't spend all day wondering when I can live a rocking life. I don't take a break from a stress inducing internet and texting life and jump right back in two days later.

I actually have taken extended breaks from the stressors of life.

I have reinvented some of my life and continue to be flexible to reinvent it more if need be.

There are some who realize that while we are waiting for our life to start, it runs right past us.



But then again, I don't know.....
