kathy,

You and you husband need to watch the YouTube video series, "You Look Great" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9Xso...ature=youtu.be

You can also check out and print out the information at http://www.brainline.org/content/201...u-to-know.html

Both will put your condition into the context of real life. Internalizing your struggles is unnecessary. Explaining to others how much you are struggling with a "grateful to be able to continue working attitude" rather than a woe is me complaint can make a big difference. It will be a one person at a time kind of work-place conversion process.

A comment like "I never realized how much a concussion can mess up ones life until this happened to me. Now I know why football and hockey players commit suicide from the despair of trying to live with prolonged concussion symptoms." Then ask them to help you because you need their help to get through this healing process. Empower them with understanding. Take the "What brain injury survivors want you to know" information print outs to hand to them.

Most people will respond well when they have good information and a plan of how they can help.

My best to you.
