Hello all

Early on after my injury I had very obsessive, fixated and racing thoughts. It seemed to reduce later in my recovery, perhaps because of the SSRI I started taking, or perhaps because of brain healing.

Now 1.5 years later, I have had several big life changes happen recently including having to move and losing my job. My doctor and I decided it was time to taper off the SSRI slowly before these events happened. I am on the last dosage of tapering off the SSRI.

I seem to be having more trouble with the repetitive thoughts. It is like my brain fixates on something that happened, can't let it go, and just repeats it over and over. It is troublesome at night as I can't sleep. Right now my brain is fixating on getting fired and what happened in the meeting.

Is this common for TBI because I don't remember this happening before my injury? Is there a specific type of therapy that can help me deal with this? Are there any supplements that might help with this? I have heard of EMDR therapy - might that be helpful?

Thank you for your help.
