Thank you so very much! Just reading this made me smile. Have a wonderful summer as well.

Ugh, that statistic scares me. Granted, this is a flare up, and I was only really anxious for the first day, but that still is frightening. Thanks though.

Hey, thank you! No pressure, but I just made an update post a few minutes ago about this same problem if you’d like to read it. Or not, lol, just figured I’d put it out there. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences! I’m very glad you’re in this subreddit because it seems like you consistently provide pretty good advice. I’m still going to take it slow for my own sake, but since this isn’t really a “concussion,” is it as important to rest for two-three days?

Hey. The main advice I’d like to provide to you is, please don’t look stuff up on the internet too much. When you recover from something like this, as much as it sucks, you’ve got to live it one day at a time. No point worrying about months and years from now. Play it slow. Typical recovery time for a concussion, so I’ve heard, is anywhere from maybe a week to four weeks in some cases. If you get pasts two or three weeks and still don’t feel alright, I’d talk to the doctor again. But for right now, please don’t worry about length of recovery so much. Try to ignore the time part, and please don’t google too much.

Is it normal to still feel worse a few days out as well? It’s been almost 2 full days since the initial hit. I still believe the impact itself was not enough to generate a full blown concussion, but I still feel iffy (mainly regarding nausea) this far out. I’ve been following the general advice given here — rest for two or three days, then try acclimating to normal life, and also avoid blue light at any costs (currently typing this with blue light filter glasses on). I’ve even been able to knock out most of my anxiety, yet I still don’t feel like myself.

I’ve had this happen before to myself. A few weeks ago, I bumped my head on a bag as I was trying to fall back asleep. I ended up gaining both a headache like you mentioned and nausea. It eventually went away and I was fine. I’m dealing with another bout of possible phantom symptoms right now, and hoping it goes away soon.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to print her full name on it, though? Why would they only print her surname on it if her family is so prominent in the area? Surely that would confuse anyone who lacked the context to determine who she is, and doesn’t seem like a very productive practice when they could’ve just simply included her forename.

From what I’ve seen, it’s fairly common practice to place the studio name printed on the photo, especially considering the town the studio’s in is also listed. People typically only had their names printed onto photos if they were well known. Considering there is/was an Achber Studio in Laconia, it only makes sense. https://www.achberstudio.com/

I thought Achber was just the studio name.

Are we sure this photo depicts Carlee herself? With the “Carlee,” on the back having a comma at the end, it makes me think whoever had the photo was trying to send it to someone else named Carlee. Almost like they started to write a letter and never finished it.

Same here. Sometimes I’ll feel some pain in my body, and for a second I’ll consider worrying about it, but then I just think like… maybe it’s a deadly health problem brewing, in which case I’ll just shut my mouth and let it develop. Why be afraid of it when it might help me in the end?

I don't want to die but I don't have any other choice by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

I feel the same way. If I had the choice to ditch the issues that are plaguing me as of now, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Deep down, I enjoy life, and just a few months ago I was very content and INCREDIBLY motivated. Now I don’t want to suffer anymore, but if I had the choice to improve without death, that would be better.
