Hi Mark
This is my first post. I suffered a concussion at the end of November 2012. The past five months have been a living hell. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for the first time in my life and I am 49 years old. The Dr put me on Lexapro 10mg which seems to help a little but I still have my moments of feeling sorry for myself. I seem to dwell on my condition all the time even though I know that this is making things worse. I have slowly started to get better but not soon enough for me. I was extremely active working out with weights and aerobic exercises nearly daily. The exercise always made me feel good. Since I had the concussion I lost about twenty pounds. I am just starting to put weight back on. But I still cant work out. I am so afraid of doing something to trigger the anxiety and depression that I have just shut myself out of exercising. I try to walk about a mile a day but I worry about hurting myself. I know it is irrational but I still cant help myself. My wife of thirty years tries to be supportive but it has taken its toll on her as well. I saw the neurologist again on Tuesday and he said that I am fine, I sure don't feel fine though. I just waiting for the day that I wake up and this nightmare is behind me, it doesn't seem that it ever will. Thanks for listening I am just having a bad day today.
