Default Introduction and a question about rehabilitative exercices

Hi,

Long time reader, first time poster.
My backstory is that eight months to date I woke up from the bathroom floor with one of the worst headaches of my life. Apparently after a night of heavy drinking I had tripped over the threshold and slammed my head first on the toilet bowl with a second impact on the floor. This resulted in a major concussion and whiplash and left me with PCS to this day.

Since I slammed the left side of my head my symptoms are mostly linguistic by nature (had aphasia etc in the beginning. now mostly word finding difficulties loss of verbal and working memory, silenced inner voice etc.) accompanied by headaches, insomnia, anxiety and such. This, of course, sucks because I was studying to be a writer.

I'm starting CBT soon but, right now my question to the community is about neuropsychological rehabilitative exercises, preferably those easily reconstructed at home. Which have you found helpful and could share yours?

I've found

(Whoops - no links for new posters. Anyway there where going to be links to:
**

To be helpful and I'm looking toward hearing yours!
All other recovery tips are also welcomed!

PS. Excuse my grammar since English is not my first language. And you know... the brain thing.

The best things to do are to challenge the areas that need improvement (stimulation) and also to make your brain environment as healthy as possible (diet, exercise if possible, reduced stress, good sleep, etc.)

So as a new poster my links got removed, but there were links to brain games and verbal memories eg. practical exercises which I was referring to.
Diet, sleep, exercise goes without saying, but I was looking for more "hands on"-approaches.

As a new poster, You can usually mention names without posting links.
There are a lot of brain training systems that over-promote the capabilities of their system.

The goal in the early days is to not stress the brain but rather keep it active. Learning how to focus while remaining relaxed is good. The hyper or intense mental effort training can cause fatigue and cause a relapse.

No multi-tasking. No pushing in environments with excessive or conflicting stimulation.

Find your best functions is your best environments then slowly add extra stimulation to see if you tolerate it.
