Post-Concussion Syndrome

Hi, my name is HMcClarrie. I'm here because I don’t know where else to turn. I’m trying to get disability and was denied the first time for not enough diagnosis, there were 17 of them, from TBI, Post Concussion Syndrome (17) of them, Anxiety, Depression, Fibromyalgia, possibly Lupus and just don’t know what to do or where to turn, so I’m hoping to find some help here. Thank you for allowing me into your groups

#PostconcussionSyndrome

Well messed something important up again. Think I see one thing but it is another. I check, later it is still wrong. I am 5 years post tbi, and still living my same life...sort of, shadow of it anyway. I don't know anything else and can't learn something all new, not without a lot of time and help. I think I should never work on important things, only simple things, but yet here I am still pretending like I can do these things. I am untrustworthy. No judgement in that, it is just simply true. If I stop doing anything important where does that leave me? How do you change your whole life when you can't figure out how? My socks match today, still living the life I knew.

Yesterday I responded to a post regarding Narcissism, as I am a survivor of narcissistic abuse (Hitchcock style, seriously). Over the past few yrs I've uncovered instances where individuals who have studied a particular illness extensively, claim with all certainty that they've thoroughly captured all of its aspects.

This is extremely hard to deal with, because often missing facts perpetuate social vulnerability. Why vulnenerability? Because predators hunt and potential victims can be better equipped for self-defense if they know what to watch out for.

Has anyone else has run into a similar situation for this or any other mental health illness(s)? Dr. Ousterhout, what type of mindfulness approach would you recommend in this type of situation? Any other thoughts you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
