You are lucky to be able to handle playing video games at all. For me, even a minute or two is a recipe for disaster. I've tried over and over again for almost two years and it's the same result every time.

Be glad you are making progress, Consider.

Cherish every moment of normalcy. I haven't had any peace or normalcy in quite some time. I almost forgot what normal feels like.

I'm currently "bucking the experts" and will let you know how it goes. Working 70 hour weeks with some slight discomfort. Let's see if it gets significantly worse. If it does, I'll say you told me so.

Oh my Goodness. Your injury must not have been that bad. I can't even work a part-time job in my dreams.

Thank you, Space. I sometimes forget how much I have recovered. I just remember my old life and it drives me back to the dark resulting in more frustration and anxiety. I am being treated also for PTSD because my mind relives the trauma through thoughts and it affects my life, creating more anxiety. My doctors want me to make me feel as comfortable as possible so I can heal. They always tell me do what I feel is right. They tell me I am young and got the strength to do this, I just need to rest more than usual which is hard with pent up anxiety, I am restless!

I am still awful in public places too. Makes for a lonely recovery! But it is slowly getting better (after 17 months).
