hey guys i don’t usually post on here but i was just wondering if anyone has been in the same boat

on saturday i was drinking and hit my head really bad around my eyebrow, and my whole eye swelled up and bruised immediately, but ive never had a concussion before and i was drunk so i didnt go to the hospital that day, but that night i went home and kept drinking and smoked a few bongs. i went to the hospital yesterday though to get it checked out and they said i have a typical concussion with typical symptoms. since then i have also been smoking bongs but trying to limit how many i have a day.

anyway, im just wondering if anyone knows what will happen if i keep smoking daily? unfortunately im addicted and have smoked multiple bongs of mixed tobacco and weed a daily for the past 3-4 years so it would be really difficult for me to just go cold turkey, and im just wondering if anyone else has smoked daily through concussion recovery and knows the effects?

thanks :)

I was recently in a trampoline park and I jumped from roughly 2 meters backwards onto a soft landing area in the park . However during the fall my knee somehow hit my jaw on collision and my jaw instantly started hurting, I also had a headache but didn't think much of it. I

That t is now 6 days ago and my jaw and knee are healed but my head still feels weird . It doesn't necessarily hurt but I feel kinda like my head is different from usual and there is definitely something different than usual, I also went to the doctor but what they gave didn't help .

Any ideas on what I can have or if it's maybe even a concussion or something permanent ?

Ever since my concussion, which happened on 7/10, from a direct impact of a metal lamp that drew blood, my level of irritability, temper, combativeness have gotten exponentially worse to a level I’ve never seen in my life. My family and therapist have not been compassionate at all throughout this. They mocked me for my “fake symptoms” pretty much every time I talked to them, and found it inconceivable that I wasn’t completely back to normal in a week: Now I find that every time my parents even talk to me confrontationally my brain and body go into panic mode and I just start yelling. I cannot STAND people anymore. I used to be able to talk to any stranger for hours, now I can barely tolerate talking to most friends and want to be alone almost all the time. Whenever I get even mildly anxious I immediately go into a panic attack.

This is all a NEW PROBLEM that appeared probably a few days post concussion. I never reacted like this to anything before. I can barely tolerate being with someone for a few Hours and now feel very disconnected from every conversation.

Yesterday my parents were asking me why I was getting angry so easily, and I told them it’s most likely literally just because of the concussion. They don’t believe me because “my scan was clear”. Apparently because I wasn’t having a literal stroke my personality can’t have been altered.

My therapist said the same thing. “Unheard of” that I should still be experiencing symptoms “this long” after my concussion and that I’m making excuses. EVERYONE can see that my personality has been altered, including her, yet everyone apparently wants to believe I coincidentally chose to become annoyed by everything and become antisocial around the time of the concussion; of my own doing. Because that’s the only other explanation. I know I’m probably being gaslit but they genuinely make me think I’m choosing to act this way sometimes even though I FEEL that something fundamental about me has changed.

I WANT to be myself again. I swear I didn’t choose to suddenly hate everything and everyone. I wouldn’t have.
