Hi,

I am so sorry to hear that things are so rough. I am only 3 weeks post-accident so I'm sure there are many more people on here with much better advice about dealing with the post-concussion symptoms. So, I'll leave that to them.

I just wanted to tell you, you are not alone. I understand feeling like your parents are the only people who get it. I have found myself cocooning into them because it feels like the safest place to be.

I am so sorry about your fiance. It sucks when situations like this arise and they reveal who people really are. You deserve someone who supports and uplifts you.

All the other people you feel are judging you, it's quite possible they aren't, they may just be completely inept at what to do, so they are giving you a wide berth. Definetely not okay but I've found people aren't the most reliable when it hits the fan. Moments like this help us sort out who to invest our time in and who not to.

I hope things get better for you. This may sound silly but do you have any pets? I know my two cats have helped me through a lot of these funks so far. I heard an old quote about a lonely, older woman with a cat who said, "it's just nice to have another heartbeat around." I can be completely concussed and foggy and they don't care. My four-year old, who I've raised since a kitten, won't leave my side. It's like he knows I'm hurt.

Hi Mark,

I went to my psychiatrist today. She asked me whether I feel that nobody understands me I literally broke down and started crying like a baby in front of her. She has prescribed risdone mt 0.5(risperidone 0.5mg) and nexito 10(escitalopram 10mg) each once a day for 7 days . I am afraid they will give me bad tinnitus spikes. What can I expect after taking them as I have never taken any antidepressants in my life? Any ideas?
