Jeffmw,

It sounds like you need to slow down and focus on doing one thing at a time. Before PCS, multitasking and such came easy and was a habit. In reality, multitasking is a stressor to the brain. It is not good for brain health. Try to learn to NOT multitask.

Your minor memory struggles are nothing in the life of many with PCS. Reacting to them may indicate an anxiety issue.

Regarding PTSD, I would ssuggest you have a plain old load of stress. I have observed that when multiple calamities come in a short period of time, there is often a common cause. Slowing down to look at personal behaviors that may have led to or contributed to the car crash, break up, etc., can help us understand where we need to slow down and try to focus on one thing at a time. You sound like a Type A personality. This can lead to this roller coaster life, especially after a concussion and with continued stress to the concussion with your Muay Thai.
