Post concussion depression
 

Hello everyone. I received my fourth concussion 6 weeks ago while playing in my college hockey game. As a senior, it has already been difficult dealing with the stress of moving on from the game. This concussion has only added stress and anxiety, as the recovery process has been slow. I am still experiencing symptoms, and I wanted some advice from you guys. I have slowly started to go on 30 minute walks, and just resumed classes this week. It has been good to get out of my dark dorm room, as that has been depressing in itself. I have refrained from using alcohol, but have gotten back into chewing tobacco, as it helps me focus while reading and studying. I just wanted your opinion on this, as it is always useful to hear from others. Thank you for the help!
