Back again, after concussion
Hello everyone,
Very sad and anxious to say that I'm back after what I thought was a complete recovery.
After a head trauma (heavy object hit back of head) I'm now suffering major anxiety symptoms, but seem to be overcoming the concussion symptons (bar for some weird lingering issues). Essentially i'm getting very little sleep, and my body will not shut down to sleep. I had my first 'full' panick during the night about a week ago, and my system now refuses to go to into rest mode. I've gone nights laying in bed ruminating: Is it the head injury that's preventing sleep or is it a massive case of the anxiety that has returned in a new form (sleep anxiety)?
I worry that:
- When it comes to brain injury, some issues never recover in some.
- Has the whiplash knocked my pituatary and my hormones are all over, causing all this
- I've got permanent nerve damage in my neck
- How long can I go on with little to no sleep?
- I'm off work sick, and I have a family of 4 to look after
Prescribed citalopram, and propanolol. But have yet to start on the cit, as I know what the start is like. :(
I hope you are all ok in your own recoveries. I'll be on and off here like I was before, it was a massive help last time.
I
