pmcsac,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. Even a minor issue with anxiety prior to a concussion can contribute seriously to concussion symptoms. Many people do not realize they have a problem with anxiety because they attribute their behavior to their intelligence or need to get things done or other concepts that drive them in life. Gideon needs to finish the school year and try to settle down his life and daily activity and stress levels. His biggest challenge is to take care of his head and neck. Nobody can say directly what part his head and neck play in his symptoms but until he stabilizes them, he will not be able to tell what symptoms are not due to neck issues. The same goes for his anxiety. The research shows that acceptance of symptoms is a great anxiety reducer and allows the brain to heal better. Fighting symptoms with anxiety is counter to recovery. When somebody breaks a leg, they stop expecting to be able to run a marathon or Tri. They know that they will need to rehab after the bones heal then work to regain endurance. When they suffer a concussion, they think they can continue with their busy and even demanding life and complain when things do not get better. If they can sit out a season of running or gymnastics, why can't they sit out some of the demands life puts on them? Many of the demands are voluntary because they do not want their schedule to change. That is a choice. Life happens. Things may need to change. Accept the change. Make the best of it and move on.

Dyane,
Welcome to NeuroTalk. What areas does your therapist work on? Is is gentle or does it incorporate trigger point where you may experience a short pain? Do you have any ongoing PCS symptoms?

Hypersensitivity issues to noise, light, and sensory overload have been giving me anxiety shocks lately.
Having some fatigue and brain fog too, nothing too serious. The thing is that I'm trying my best to keep calm, but it's like that my subconscious is in charge, and responsible for my hyperactive senses. Only thing that seem to help is good night sleep. I tend to attribute my symptoms to anxiety, even though I'm not stressed throughout the day at all. I believe that due to my neck injury, my subconscious is aware that there's something went wrong, and therefore triggers anxiety, the same way vertigo can trigger anxiety I need to learn how to cope with it so I can recover and turn off the alarm that is ringing in my subconscious. Is that makes sense to you? I'm not really sure whether its related to my injury, all I know that things have changed |
