Chat It's been 1 year!

So it's been a little over a year since the accident and I still have residual effects of PCS. It's not as bad as it used to be and I've developed my coping skills around all the symptoms, and actually, some symptoms have disappeared, or more like, hasn't come up as often.

The ever lasting symptoms that still remain:

- short term memory loss;
- slow processing speed;
- word finding difficulty;
- fatigue.

Those that "linger":
- irritability;
- impulsiveness.

Those that have faded:
- OCD;
- tinnitus;
- attention loss.

All in all, my personality has changed. I'm a different person. I'm more stubborn (look out), more outspoken but also more reserved depending on the situation, and I'm more black and white about people's opinions whereas I used to be more grey about it and more accepting. I'm working on that by being more spiritually aware, but this accident has set me back some on my development.
