Just feeling down….has anyone been told that someone couldn’t believe that you are still not recovered yet, by a doctor and coworker in that demeaning tone that makes you feel like it’s your fault?

I have never had such a hard time returning to work everyday with all these symptoms and just functioning everyday. Sometimes it’s all I can do to just survive the severe cognitive impairments and fatigue during the workday, make it home and just cry.

Thanks for listening and letting me vent everyone, I am so much better than before and I know I have a long way to go and I won’t give up but it is definitely hard to hear statements like that and deal with people who have no compassion towards our TBI difficulties and recovering as much as possible. I will never fully recover but I am working so hard to learn all of the tools and tricks to function at the highest level possible!

Have a blessed day

I have sometimes felt suicidal beause of this very thing. I am holding on. So tough to deal with. If a person has not exeriened this that person cannot understand.

Yes! A concussion/physical therapist told me that post-concussion syndrome only last 3-4 months at most. A few relatives have asked why I am STILL not recovered, but they don't know any better. The therapist does vestibular therapy and should know better.
