I think anxiety is a major symptom that comes with every injury or traumatic event. I am plagued by it too. I think it can really hinder our recovery so I think anti anxiety meds help and also in end just working through your emotions by journalling or seeing a psychotherapist. I completely understand how you feel. I always think of my life beforehand and feel so discouraged at times. I think acceptance and moving on is key and these are emotions we have to work through For me , talking with others who have expereinced something very similar is really helpful for me. And just look straight ahead not back. You are getting better...and the light at the end of the tunnel is near.
