Default It Gets Better

Hi,

My savior has been CBC radio, I have it on quite a bit and find the shows interesting, even in the middle of the night when you can't sleep. I am currently 14 months pcs and I am still not able to work. I have 3 teenagers at home, one in college who always seems to be around and yes I am thrilled when I get the house to myself. I still do not grocery shop much or go out in crowds, it really can take a toll.

I stayed in bed for 12 weeks doing absoultely nothing except listen to the radio occassionally. I must admit I took 3 muscle relaxants(cyclobenzaprene) which keep me out of it (which was a bonus). I called my room my bubble of tranquillity and did not venture out of it for 12 weeks except to go to the concussion specialist every 3 weeks to them be told to go back to bed. I am a single parent of 4 (3 teenagers at home), when I did venture out of my room I got stressed out due to the mess in the house. I came to realize there is NOTHING I can do about the running of the house etc, so I kept in my room and my children brought me food (if they remembered). Stress, depression or anxiety are really not good for you so you need to cut them out of your lives. The best thing you can do for your kids is to get better, they need you.

I must admit in the 14 months I have not been able to get rid of my headaches but I thinking that they are due to the Post Traumatic Vision Syndrome that I have.

You need to listen to your body, if you are feeling worst, it is probably something you did and you need to figure that out and try to avoid itl

Good Luck.
