Hey everyone.
I'm easysteezy from California. I am here just to learn more about my problems and maybe just interact with other people who are going through the same stuff. Im looking forward to hearing and getting support from you guys:)

What happened: I'm a skier, so on Wednesday evening I was on my trampoline with my friend trying to get some tricks on lock before Christmas break. I've had the trampoline for about four years now so I've been tricking for a while and I'm used to it. I was trying a trick I do a lot and just kinda lost my place in the air. I landed on my side/back and whiplashed my head and neck (which I've done before many times and had no problems), saw stars for a little bit and then got up and kept jumping. I felt fine but before I went to bed I felt like something was a little off but couldn't put a finger on it.

The next morning I woke up with a bad anxiety attack. I wouldn't really call it a panic attack because I wasn't panicking, I just had a terrible feeling of dread in my stomach. It wasn't even caused by anything but after that moment I keep getting random thoughts, and just the littlest things can make me just shut down into a nervous wreck. I went to school anyways and during my first period, math, I couldn't even think and had trouble doing stuff I had previously considered easy. I also had a little trouble finding words when I went to talk to the teachers about what was happening, but that's gotten better and better. I went home with my mom and then to the e.r. They gave me a few tests, a CT scan, and sent me home with a mild concussion diagnosis, saying it should get better in a few days. Here's the symptoms I've had since:
Very slight dull headache, neck ache or stiff neck, lightheadedness, random lack of coordination, lack of hunger or appetite, muscle twitches, feeling like something's amiss, pressure in my head, lethargy, random twinges of pain then hotness in my head, all those textbook concussion things. The weird thing is that I've had no drive to be social, and usually I thrive hanging out with friends. I feel different emotions now, especially anxiety. The attacks are the worst, and constantly hit me. Some days are better than others but some I can barely even function. Sometimes they're caused by nothing, and other times I am subconsciously finding every little thing that could be wrong with me and it just accidentally sends me into one. Kinda like I've been randomly turned into a hypochondriac. The attacks can be caused by anything really. Sorry I'm kinda rambling anyway, thanks for reading, and i'm looking forward to taking part in the community and hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction and help me get better.

Welcome easysteezy :)
