I am about 16 months out from my injury. You ask some very good questions. I can only tell you how my injury affected me. I do know mental fatigue and I am still tired alot but not nearly as much as when I was first injured. Your comment about going out being to much is a common complaint. I'm better off staying home because most times it makes me foggy after an outing. I keep trying though. I think it's important to have some social interaction. That being said I recently started to go to a support group run by the brain injury alliance group and I am hoping that being around other people who are going through this will help me in this process.

Is there a support group in your area? Maybe little steps will lead to leaps and bounds.

Your not alone and it's hard. You are very young and I hope that will benefit you in your recovery process. Mark in Idaho posted some real good advise about vitamins and dietary information to help your injured brain. I would look it up.

I hope this helps. Take care.
