So sorry to hear a very familiar story. This forum is a great source of information and support. My symptoms started at the beginning of March so I understand the panic and frustration and desire to shake it all off and carry on as 'normal'. PCS is all pervasive and very cruel. Through the support on here you should hopefully find understanding healthcare professionals as a dual approach of neuro and psych treatment has benefitted me so far in alleviating the frustration and enabling me to understand how complex the brain injury is so that I can adjust to resting and managing myself safely rather than constantly grieving and stressing about what I was previously able to do.
Everyone has different recovery journeys and we are all here to support one another xx

TBI and PCS symptoms all came about 3 weeks after an accident at work in February 2012 when I hit my head on the corner point of a metal barrier at brisk walking pace.
Life as I knew it came to a shuddering halt that day. 20 year history of depression and anxiety now coupled with memory issues, personality change, speech and communication problems, ringing ears, impulsivity etc etc etc.
Damaged people are dangerous.....they know they can survive!
