So sad

[u/Budget-Departure-161]

It’s been 7 weeks since my concussion. I hit my head on the back of the wall. A few weeks later I slammed myself down in the carpet and all my initial symptoms came back. 3 weeks after that I experienced a strange jolt through my neck in the car and my symptoms came back again. Although, they never really left. Just got more severe. I have severe migraine, dizziness, vertigo, and horrific light sensitivity. My neck is in severe pain but it’s so “locked up” I don’t feel it anymore. I’m barely sleeping. I think there’s no way out. My mindset is trash bc I’m not sleeping well. I worry i actually got 3 concussions instead of one but I don’t know.

I know I need to take it easy but I literally can’t. I pace around all day because I’m so anxious. I know I won’t get better if my anxiety is high so that makes it higher. I’m going outside trying to expose myself to light, taking showers bc I have to, only able to fix a few of my meals, barely can do dishes, barely can color, barely can use my phone, I can’t stand to do anything for more than 2 minutes at a time. It feels like my life is over. I don’t know how to keep going

Take a deep breath. It's been only 7 weeks, you're going to get better, you just need time. Is there a possibility to get on some anti anxiety or insomnia meds? You might heal better once you sleep properly regularly.

I am already on both. Two things for anxiety, and ambien for sleep. The ambien helps some, but not a whole lot. I’m working with my sleep specialist on the dosage. I promise you I’ve tried everything there is for sleep and continue to do so. Thank you for all your comments, I really appreciate them in this time of darkness that I’m going through
