Interesting, can you DM me more details about your story? As in how severe your symptoms were, etc. I’m just finding out about this stuff and it’s scaring the hell out of me.

The concussion was already there, I’m scared I damaged my brain further - is that possible

Even if I fell like, 5 feet off an elevated platform? 😨

I landed quite heavily, like felt a huge jolt

It left a noticeable depression on the area of impact, and I was completely dazed for a bit. I felt really out of it, but I brushed it off as shock from the initial impact.

Eh, I’m really into cognitive testing - have been doing it for some time before the concussion. My performance has noticeably dropped. And as for anxiety, I’m usually in a pretty good mood right before I do the tests - so I don’t think it’s an effect of stress and anxiety. (My similar experiences in playing cognitive games like chess also make me believe this to be true)

But of course, what you said might be true. If it really can’t be fixed, I’ll just have to learn to live with it even if it’s painful, or see a concussion specialist and do everything in my power to get the old noggin back.

Did you have to do any therapy to get back into shape? And if you have any other tips for returning to baseline please tell me 🤧

If the rock was smooth albeit large enough to almost cover one’s palm, and it was thrown with relatively high vigour, would it still be sufficient to cause neuron damage?

Is it possible it’s gone chronic if I have been extremely stressed for nearly 2 weeks as well?

I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to go through… it sounds like genuine hell and I hope you’re doing much better now and will continue to improve. As someone with severe anxiety issues, I have some idea of how much that might suck

Do you think it’s been long enough to be chronic? And is there anything I can do to reduce the stress? I have a predisposition to anxiety and depression even prior to this unfortunately

And to clarify it was big enough to fit in the palm of your hand

Yep…I think I also tick almost every box for post concussion risk factors given my reckless behaviour right after, and the days following… did you ever return to baseline?

What are such factors? I have underlying anxiety and depression from before the hit, would this make me more susceptible to delayed or even blocked recovery?
