Two years of post-concussion syndrome resulted in anxiety that I often can't turn off, even with calming techniques. It is "turned-on" in stressful situations (although I may not feel stressed, the situations occur when my brain feels as though it is being asked to do more than necessary), and it will sometimes stay with me for a few days before it goes away. I have to be free of the amount of taxing situations to let it subside.

People do not understand. They want you to take anti-anxiety medication, not realizing that over-medicating someone with a brain injury often produces more symptoms in other areas and decreases quality of life.

My wife does not understand, nor does she want me to explain my situation. She gets anxious about me discussing it and gets angry with me seeking acceptance than and understanding.
