Prior to the accident, I too, was a very in-control, non-emotional person. Since the accident I cry frequently. It is another added frustration.

Sometimes i feel emotional numb. When something happens and i dont have very much emotion at all. It seems as some of my emotions have been desensitized. Also noticed i dont have much to say when talking to people on the phone or in person. I used to almost always have something to say.

Thank god I'm not the only one!

I'm pleased that Rosie found that she too finds it difficult to hold back the tears when talking about her concussion, I thought the doctors must think i'm loopy for sobbing every time they see me! The thing that bothers me most, about my lack of emotional control is that crying makes me headaches so much worse! But so does not crying because I bottle everything up. Catch 22 much?
I hope that I, and everyone else, will soon be able to manage their emotions and return to their more... 'normal' selves
Thank you for all of your advice, it has given me a much needed confidence boost
