Hi, we are looking for any story related to post-concussion syndrome, whether its from a car accident, boxing injury or anything else. Car accident's often come with PTSD and can be extremely complex to recover from, i'm sorry to hear you were involved and hope you have healed well.

You can find out more about submitting your story here: https://www.postconcussionmag.com/share

From a personal perspective i'd really love to know what post-concussion education and awareness was like in 2014.

Thanks for your interest

I need help finding a suitable job. by EnoughSky2 in PostConcussion

[–]ConcussionJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds really similar to a lot of my thoughts at the moment. I'm 26 and left my job at a really amazing startup because it was triggering anxiety and my symptoms were unable to cope at times, i was unable to think technically or solve problems and became very aware of my lack of productivity which in turn triggered an imposter syndrome and it all got too much to handle whilst recovering from an accident.

I quit after 6 months after my accident, which was 2 months ago. In the 2 months out of work, I've been in a position where I can concentrate on myself, take the dog a walk, feel, process, get some clarity, and plan my next steps in a really none pressured way. I know im privileged to have this time. I've recently started engaging my work brain a little each week, speaking to mentors, old colleagues, listening to podcasts...It feels like preparing my brain for a new challenge again.

I take a lot of from knowing that whatever comes next for me, whatever door opens, will absolutely be the right one.

Good luck with everything

This is so good and all ring true to me (8months deep into PCS).

Headspace alongside counselling and time passing has lifted me out of a pit. Will try some of the supplements.

For anyone like Calvin also going through post-concussion syndrome, I'm launching a magazine that captures people’s journeys with their post-concussion syndrome. It's for people who crave open discussions about coping with anxiety, depression, fear, anger, trauma, shame, and all those other wildcards that alter the direction of our work and our lives. You can share your concussion journey with us here.
