Hi everyone

I was wondering what the sitiatioon is with extremes stress and TBI. I have heard that if you don't keep your minds somewhat carefree then you run the risk of damaged brain cells dying.

I am under some extreme stress suddenly - a family emergency type of thing- and i can't sleep, can't stop crying and of course my head hurts more than usual. I don't know what to do but I'm scared this is going to make me very seriously ill - I had a nosebleed last night which can't be a good a sign??

I am going to the GP for Valium after an hour's sleep last night, I doubt he will have much to comment on this situation though as its a bit out of his depth I would think. I'm at a complete loss - I'm afraid I'm going to relapse back into sleeping 3 days on end unable to say my own name.
