Anyone Care to Share there first Experiences with PCS?
 

Mine was either the night of my intial forearm to the temple after the wrestling match or the day after anyhow me being an idiot ''at the time'' i was smoking marijuana [which i have quit 16 months wooo] anyhow after i got high i started freaking out in a panic and i belive that on that night the weed did something to my brain b\c i never panicked like that before as days grew on and time passed it got worse and worse.i can remember sitting at a Food Lion parking Lot and being in a fogggy daze thinking whats going on,anyhow the first day it full throttle hit was November 29th of 2007 and it just hit out of nowhere i called my dad crying saying i had no clue what was going on and that i thought i was going crazy after staying out of the ring and only a few days later ''it ended'' so me being a wrestler i jumped back in the ring with precaution took no head shots but ''bumped'' aka basicaally just falling suplexes etc...then it came back again and this pattern went on and on until finally i retired from the sport at only 26 years old now it comes and goes but i can live normally but my most alarming memory and the one that woke up people was during the 2007 SEC Championship where my beloved UT Vols took on LSU Tigers and during the game i broke down crying to my father it was then that he knew something bad was wrong and to top it all of UT lost on that night lol but yeah my first experiences were awful but now it has gottten somewhat better my PTSD and or depression makes it worse but i live now like i am the way i am,and i am prepared to finish my life like this if thats gods plans.......thanks for taking the time to read this peace

Walking out of the hospital the day after the accident I didn't really understand what I'd been left with. I found depersonalisation info online. I read about the head trauma and marijuana connection. Never smoked marijuana but a 60 mph flip on the left temple knocked me out cold. Food tasted less, diminished sense of smell and so on. All things cognitive. Understood something was seriously after my first post-accident workout session. Just couldn't feel it like I used to.

there is every chance you will recover, it is good you have recognized the weed connection any pot smoker who is honest will tell you there comes a time when the buzz changes from the giggles to a heightend state of awareness .were you become conscious of your subconscious it is no coincidence that you have developed ptsd because the vale between you subconscious and conscious mind was lifted soon after your injury thus hard wiring it to initiate the fight or flight response in a hightend way, if you can recognize that this is all thats wrong the panic will hopefully, subside

please try the omega 3/6 supplements they can only help keep yourself hydrated at all times
