It has been 6 months since my injury (blunt trauma to the head...frontal). I can count on one hand the number of times I have left the house other than for a doctor appt/procedure. Litterally 4 times in 6 months.

Anyway, this past weekend, we went out of town to visit family and my mother was flying in too (she lives out of state). Due to the headaches and fatigue, noise sensitivites..etc, we weren't sure we were going to be able to go.

Part of me was really looking forward to seeing my family (esp. my mom) and the other part was scared how I would feel.

I'm not sure how to explain it other than I had a difficult time being able to control my emotions. I was so darn sensitive to everything! We ended up leaving early because I just couldn't deal with it.

My emotions seem hypersensitive right now. I take everything personally and I'd like to find a way around that. Fatigue and pain are contributing to it i'm sure, but the only meds I am currently on is a Beta Blocker for the Headaches.My doc did double my dose almost 2 weeks ago. Do you think that has anything to do with it?

I always enjoyed being around people and had no issues carrying on a conversation or controlling my emotions prior to my injury.....this is really frustrating me!!!!
