So I'm nearly 3 weeks into my 2nd concussion and have been trying to take things one day at a time. I'm now experiencing intense anxiety that is very similar to this point with my first concussion in 2010. I've also had very bad vertigo, which quite frankly has been rather debilitating. I'm trying to tell myself things will settle/pass in their own time, but my body is stuck in the "flight or fight" mode.

I'm scared that the vertigo is permanent as well as the anxiety that comes along with it. I thought as a "veteran" PCS survivor that I wouldn't deal with this level of anxiety again, but that's not the case.

Tomorrow I have a consult with a hearing & balance center to assess my dizziness & decide I what testing I need. I know I need to stay positive and be thankful for small blessings...just feeling low today.

Thanks for listening ~ any feedback is greatly appreciated!
