You really are going through a rough time. Do you take any meds. I do for depression and I have an anxiety pill too. I am lucky though I have a caring husband who has been my rock I hope you have some close friends you can count on. It's a long journey isn't it I have talked to people who were injured 10 12 15 years ago and still have the odd symptoms. I use the wrong word often and I'm tired a lot but I keep pushing on because I want to be myself again or close to it
hang in there

@margaretallen I wasn't sure if you meant me or Jennifer. I don't like prescriptions. Only have one kidney now, so worry about medicines hurting the only one left. Overweight, but have always been healthy, active, use holistic remedies. Have too many RXs since my accident. Now I'm very out of shape. But I'm going to ask the DR about anxiety options next week. No. No one to rely on. Why I joined some support groups. I got tired of people pointing out minor things to embarass me because they want to control others or knock them down. Then you have some point out minor little things in front of others, then dismissing it to justify their rudeness: saying "I didn't know you were hurt, you look ok" "you don't seem like your having problems" etc. People see what they want to see. So I started cutting back on helping others. I didn't grow up where I live and despite volunteering everywhere for 33 years, it's ironic how they disappear when they see me struggling or when I can't help them anymore. Everyone knows me... but are busy - or people move in for a few years then move away - or when they don't need you, they surprise you and "move on" - or assume you have family in town. I have a lot of other stress aside from my health.
