Let me disclaim up front that I am not an MD nor PhD level Psychologist. Also let me state that no internet forum offers legitimate medical advice. It sounds to me as if you have severe anxiety. Whether that was caused by your concussions is at this point irrelevant. Further injury from "Hitting head in sleep" or "getting haircuts" is nearly impossible. Your other fears, while possible, are very unlikely. Hey, I got hit by a train, please don't add that one to your list. My disclaimer above stated "I am not an MD nor PhD level Psychologist". You need one of these. A 22 year old healthy male doesn't present your symptoms without underlying factors. Sounds as if your neurologists and other practitioners haven't found the root causes of your symptoms yet. "Will my symptoms eventually get better with time?" Probably, but you need answers to the root cause of your symptoms.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
