[AndromedaJulie]

I'm very glad to be able to find this site. I have had four concussions in the past eight months, the first of which in July was very significant, after 45 years of a lot of head hitting anyway. I am here to visit the PCS forums.

My symptoms have improved a lot but a lot of the remaining issues are having a big impact on my family life. My husband is wonderfully supportive but I have a preschooler and a 7th grader. This is causing problems because I am having a really hard time being a proper parent. I cannot tolerate noise and all their talking and therefore I don't want to be around them that much. Even at the dinner table, after a little while I start to retreat into sullenness. I have always been a warm person but now I require a phenomenal amount of personal space. I love my family just as much as ever. I also get lonely but I find people so overwhelming with their endless talking now.

Thank you for welcoming me.
Julie

Hello Julie,

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

You may have found it already but I'll post below the link to the TBI/PCS forum.

Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome

There are also lots of threads at the top of that forum containing resources, useful links and posts on hope and healing.

I'm sure you'll find information and support there as you deal with your symptoms post concussions.

take care.
