Hey everybody. I haven't posted on the forums in a while, but I just wanted to say that it is 6 weeks out from the injury now and I am feeling a lot better. I just completed my first full week of work, and this did wonders for my self confidence. The only symptoms that persist for me now are dissociative symptoms. It's very difficult to describe, but I feel like I'm just not entirely connected to the world in the same way I was before. I think it is derealization/depersonalization, which could just be a result of underlying anxiety, but I am not certain. It comes and goes, but at times it can be terrifying and it messes with my memory too. Can anyone else relate to this? I am definitely concerned that this could be a permanent problem, but I am trying to trust the statistics and hope that it will go away with due time. Can anyone give me advice on coping with this problem? Also, have any of you struggled with this and seen that over time it subsided? Any comments are appreciated and I am thankful for this forum.
