Default so many symptoms and little help

Hi gang. I am a married father of six ages 5-20. Have suffered about 12 concussions from football. Worst one was in 2006 where I was out for several minutes. Since then things are much worse. Have lost a couple of jobs due to processing problems. Depression is bad to severe. Memory loss to the point of occasionally forgetting the names of family and friends. Sleep sucks, sensitivity to light and noise, difficulty swallowing, concentrating, ringing in ears, prefer to isolate, paranoia, fatigue.

My wife is angry about all this. Says I am a different person. Marriage is struggling. I was nearly suicidal two years ago after my great Dane died. Hate talking to people. At work and home. I feel for my kids they are so sweet and need and deserve better. Make bad decisions. Have run some stop signs because of just not thinking. Had a motorcycle wreck a couple of months ago that resulted in a snapped collar bone, cracked rib and another concussion. Recently got another great Dane which has helped my mood.

Need answers and prayers.
