how far does reality slip....
 
okay so i will make this fast so it does not run on to much, any further info please contact me. At 14 as a healthy normal male i was in a car wreck where i was out for several weeks had severe head injuries, broken jaw in 3 places, spleen ruptured etc.... I had no quality kare after the hospital release. i went home and remained without to much follow up at all. I complained of issues but was dismissed. i can "see" differently after that day which is hard to explain. but overtime and looking back things that have been obvious had i had any help or knowledge are now costing my life a great deal and my reality seems to be slipping away. some of them are a ringing that has sense the last five years grown to a continued tone, head aches come and go, i get dizzy when i close my eyes, have for a long time. but what i see that others dont is the inner mental functions. I forget phone numbers and passwords, have violent episodes brought on by fear and confussion, cant be around public places, write and say words with misplaced letters, and way to much to write here. The point is this, how can i or can i at all be looked at by a doctor. does anyone maybe have advice on things or just anything that can help me. For many years i have noticed things growing worse, even my phyical body has done unexpected things (i had an inflamed pancreas at 24 years old?)

That sounds just awful! I think you absolutely need to tell your primary care physician about all of your symptoms ASAP.

See I am 32 years old now and have no doctors. I do not have that kind of money and in life it just has never worked out that anyone has ever kared. I have just dealt with things throughout the years. I am certain somethings wrong to some level, and sure it would make an interesting case. But that's the issue how do I connect myself with someone in whatever field if not by chance alone?

Gosh, I think if you're having trouble like this you should get a Dr. and then be referred to a specialist. If you don't have money or insurance, find a public assistance program in your area to get one.

I concur with EsthersDoll. You should definitely look into getting government assistance. Welfare offers health care and that's exactly what you need. Take advantage of government assistance, get a neurologist and possibly a combination of psychiatrist/psychologist for medicine management and therapy. Go down to Welfare tomorrow.
