I have major changes since the concussion I either get VERY ANGRY, or I get overwhelmed by the stress that I will get major depressed.My behavior was terrible since I also established PTSD from the accident and fighting with M.D.s, lawyers etc.I have to do a 3 step cognitive behavior therapy.
Now at all cost I try my best to stay FAR AWAY FROM TOXIC ,NEGATIVE, STRESSFUL PEOPLE. I have learned in my therapy techniques to help me and now I am getting better at walking away.I was the combat queen that had a war in my mind that could of landed me in very bad situations. This is another reason I grew to accept isolation in this lonely journey. I hope you the best!And maybe consider therapy to talk about stuff and get some help if you feel you might need it. ![]()
