Default ted talk & game for concussed people

Hi all,
have you seen this?
https://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgon...fe?language=en

good story plus she created an app that (i was hoping it was a miracle cure) can help us cope perhaps.

i downloaded it. i think we can friend eachother on the app like one might in other social games. my username is the same...underwater...if you want to find me.

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.

This SuperBetter game has been discussed in the past. Eowynn does this game. I could not make sense of it. If you can get benefit from it, that is great.
