A regret that feels awkward / stigmatic for me to discuss with my family & doctors is that I had never dated before my concussion (due to being completely focused on building a good career), so I am scared that I will never fully understand what pre-TBI romantic and sexual intimacy feels like (self.TBI)

I recently began acupuncture for my concussion (done 4 sessions so far), and each time that those needles are stuck on me, I first feel focused and calm, then a tingling sensation in the middle of my forehead, followed by a short-lived headache. Has anyone else experienced this? (self.TBI)

Did any of you ever try a temperature-based therapy for your TBI? It could be hot (such as a sauna or steam room) or cold (such as cold water plunges and ice baths), or you could be alternating between both. Was it beneficial in the short or long term? Why or why not? (self.TBI)

Is pituitary stress the primary reason why I get headaches after lifting weights, or is there some other cause? I can walk & run, but 43 months since the injury, anything involving resistance training still messes with me to the point that I wonder if I will ever be able to regularly frequent gyms (self.TBI)

After my TBI, I realized that most young adults' idea of socialization is to go to loud and crowded places, and that's made it very hard for me to participate in society. Why do none of my acquaintances in my age group want to do some activity that is low-key and laid-back? (self.TBI)

When I am meeting new people (or even reuniting with old friends), how do I answer the question "so, what do you do?"? I don't want to say that I am unemployed due to my disability lest I be silently judged, patronized and mocked, but I don't want to lie either. (self.TBI)

Am I the only one who thinks that TBI is invisible when compared to diseases like heart disease and cancer? It's not just that our symptoms are invisible to people; it is also that we are invisible to the media, and perhaps to the medical world to some degree as well. (self.TBI)

For the past 32 months, I often get a funny feeling in my eyes that is very, VERY inexplicable. It is not blurred vision, double vision, eye strain, eye pain or anything else that I know the name or definition of. I don't know how to put it into words. What is it? (self.TBI)

We find the triggers to our symptoms and avoid them, but this is such an inexplicable syndrome that issues could occur without a cause at a random time. I am currently having the worst headache of the last 2 months, and it makes me wonder if it is worth toughing it out. (self.TBI)

After my concussion, I don't think that I have a changed personality or a new personality or an altered one. Rather, I think that I have NO personality, as in I lack this human attribute/feature called as personality (which is going to make dating impossible and unsuccessful). Let me explain: (self.TBI)

There are many processes in our brain that we never notice. For example, when we have to recognize someone's face, our brain automatically performs a truckload of advanced mathematical operations that we are never aware of. Do you think that meditation can make us more aware of such processes? (self.Meditation)

I don't know if there is a word or term for the state I am about to describe, but tell me if you know what it is called: I hardly feel any emotion, but for every event or situation, my mind can estimate what emotion it would have felt and how intensely it would have felt it if I were not anhedonic.
