Flatlander,

My wife and I really understand your place. I have been there too, and the only thing that saved me was my wife and my kids. I did not want to go on. I was very depressed and anxious and my only goal each day was to get to bed time and my sleeping medication.

I also have found out who my real friends are. I was the social organizer and "action man" in my various groups of friends. I have not heard from some "friends" for over a year, and most just send an e-mail saying something like "when are you going to be better?" or "we should get together" but they don't follow up. My few real friends popped over once in a while when I really needed it, but I had to really spell PCS out for them because if you have never had a close experience with a head injury you just don't get it. Those few have stuck with me. I wish you lived in Ottawa, our kids could play and we could chat quietly once in a while. Your e-mail really got to me, remember you are not alone. Hug that boy a lot.
Take care, TommyB ; )
P.S. Please do something now about the depression. Anxiety and depression come with PCS and I know anti-anxiety/depression medication saved my life in month 1 & 2.
