I'm not sure where to start I'm 25 as a child I had seizures and by the time I was 13 I was told that any more concussIons could result in permanent brain damage or death I've had more than a dozen since. I got a concussion about a year and a half ago and after almost 2 weeks I was still struggling with symptoms so I went to the doctor and that was the first time I heard anything about post concussive syndrome and I've had 2 minor concussions since. Usually I'm good at avoiding hitting my head but it means constantly being on guard and paying attention but at the same time it's exhausting. I'm used to dealing with the memory loss and the mental part of it but since the concussion a year and a half ago I've felt so disconnected from family and friends even from friends I've made since. I've never been an overly emotional person I've always preferred staying calm and thinking things thru rationally rather than feeling. But now I feel emotionally disconnected from my life and I have no idea how to explain this to anyone that while I feel empathy for them I don't feel anything more for than that for people that I've known most of my life and no one notices. When I'm with friends or family I'm able to talk laugh and enjoy the moment and while I still feel upset or happy I don't feel emotionally connected to anyone and I don't know how to fix it.
