Had a ruptured brain aneurysm. Anyone else?

So looking for anyone who has experienced a ruptured brain anurism . By the grace of God I survived! Even came out of it w no after effects and left the hospital after a cooling and 2 weeks in I.C.U! This was back in Feb of this year but have noticed over the last few weeks I'm just not feeling myself. Like my heads in the clouds. A bit out of it! Also bouts of anxiety, sleeplessness, as well of severe fatigue and increasing bouts of depresion. Wondering if anyone out there has experienced the same kinds of things and if these are an after effect of what I went through???

My husband is recovering from a ruptured brain aneurism 9 months ago. Thankfully, he is alive and recovering incredibly well, however, his short term memory still is non existent. Worse, his long term memories are flooding him with ptsd from childhood physical trauma he suffered and dealt with years ago. It takes me an hour to bring him back, using all the usual strategies. Right now, it is a daily occurrence. Doctor prescribed aricept for the short term memory and seroquel for the ptsd. Can anyone share whether this is part of recovery? Any experience with these meds?
