Anxiety
I feel really lucky and blessed that I have not been plagued with too much of it due to this PCS situation.
However, I wonder a lot if it is because for at least 3.5 years I take Gaba, 5-Htp, and L-thanine every night due to some horrible anxiety I had from mid life hormone changes. Prior to finding these supplements I had brain fog and just horrible, crippling anxiety that I hope never to feel again.
I do get depressed sometimes these days, but I handle that with my hobbies, positive thinking, and prayer.
I know this is a hard time and you're a young person wanting to be out with friends.
Try to think on how far you have come, and that you will recover, bit by bit, and be changed surely by this experience.
Here's hoping you find something to take the anxiety away!

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
