All can be symptoms of anxiety. I can feel the stress and tension just from reading your posts! You really need to try to find a way to relax. Perhaps staying off the computer would help. You may need to stop focusing on what is going on with you. Are you seeing a counsellor, psychologist or someone that can help you? If not, you really should be!
Anxiety is a very real symptom of tbi and if you can find a way to relax I'm sure you'd feel a lot better! I can't follow all the different people on here, sorry, are you taking medication for anxiety? Meditating? Meditating has made a world of difference with my panic attacks/anxiety/depression. You really need to quiet all the worry going on in your brain.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time of it. Sending calm thoughts your way....

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
