Hi, @lanieg - I'm guessing that others who've experienced a traumatic brain injury to various severities can relate to you with going through mood changes. What types of mood changes did you experience after your 4 concussions? How did you feel these mood changes affected your spouse?

I was quick to anger at any little trigger. For example, if she questioned why I had done something I would yell or cry for no apparent reason. I felt like I was falling apart. No control over my reactions. I know they affected my spouse in that she was afraid to talk to me, she was fearful of my reaction to he and she was afraid I didn't love her anymore. It almost destroyed us.
