The reason I was asking about PTSD was it seems to go hand & hand with my feeling from my accident.I now have had sleepless nights for a week because of getting back into rehab.I know it might sound funny to some but I am on tilt reliving all the events that have left me not the same as I once was.The problems with being picked apart by the doctor,the treating nurses,the insurance company at the start of another law suit.The labor boards decision as to weather they should reimburse me for treatment.

The thoughts at hand are overwhelming and disturbing to be frank.I hope I am not alone in saying that this accident has and is a battle for life.Life meaning being able to cope,and function,live, a life that has been altered by an event.We all live a life that WE as individuals have chosen for ourselves.When an accident occurred we sometimes are forced to live a life that has changed the one we chose for ourselves and just deal with what has been handed to us.This within its self is shocking,overwhelming,hard to deal with at best.It was forced upon us and we have to deal with the new situation just to survive.Some have a better outcome in dealing with the new situation than others(ME).Some like myself have a hard time to settle and accept what we are now.

Is this the actions of a head injury,the actions from a stubborn person,a reaction from a previous bipolar person,or just a normal persons reaction to new stresses added to a once normal life?

I am having the same kinds of feelings. I am 6 months out from my head injury and I swear everyday something new happens to me. Mine resulted from an injury IN THE HOSPITAL, the one place that should have been safe. I went 43 years without any problems. I chose not to do things because as I got older I was afraid of hurting myself. Call me a chicken, but I love to be in control of my fate. I have two young, active kids that I want to be able to do things with. So the accident was totally out of my control and now my life has changed. I think I am looking at it as a loss and am dealing with the different phases of that loss. Just when I think I am starting to cope, I try something that sets me back. Then I go through the whole anger thing again. So, I don't know, but I think your feelings are normal. I just don't want to live the rest of my life feeling like this.

hi raymond

I can only speak for myself apart from the constant head ache,tinnitus, balance problems , brain fog feelings of detachment , double vision. facial numbness, lack of emotional response, anger, feeling useless and a CSF leak

feeling you are on trial from the many benefit agency's, butt covering by the various government agency,s that could of prevented the people who attacked me from being free to do so, eg the police, crown prosecution service , and social services ,after plea,s in the national press and local community, that the yobs that smashed my head in be locked up 4 years before this happend

dose add somewhat to the every day pressures of life

oh and then theres the banks
