Most has been said already but wanted to repeat the idea of music. Not sure how you feel about it but I really like uplifting gospel music myself. Just an idea. I sort of feel like it's the best music to get me "out of myself" and focused on bigger things, happier things. I need to remember this for myself!

I've been diving deep into depression also so thanks for starting the thread. I've not been prescribed any anti depressants because up to now I've been diagnosed with adjustment disorder only (meaning not major depression but just difficulty adjusting to the new normal) for which there was nothing prescribed. I'm ok with that because it would just be another thing for WCB to blame for my symptoms instead of the injury.

Still it's very hard to cope with depression without meds, so I feel for you, and commend your willingness to try new things. you are so strong.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
