    Uh

    Well, i probably don’t recommend this, but a concussion I had a few weeks ago seems to have really helped

        Well, that’s kind of tricky. I landed face first on ice. Must have stepped on glare ice and ate shit.

        Forehead was all cut up and it hurt the most between my eyes for about a week and a half. It was actually bad enough that they made me take off work.

          Oof I’m sorry, sounds super bad. It’s interesting because I think the frontal lobe is exactly what would make someone overthink stuff or worry too much. So, I’m still considering it ;)

            Yeah, i don’t recommend it.

            I’m pretty sure it’s temporary, as I’ve felt small bits of stress.

            I’m also concerned about the effect it’s had on problem solving. Mostly that some things that just don’t make sense I don’t bother learning more like I used to.

              Wow, thats interesting!

              The brain heals and changes, right? I wonder if theres an opportunity here to forge new mental habits (no idea if its too soon or not - rest was always a big thing with concussion, i gather that hasn’t changed?)

      Oh wow… this is definitely not something to consider.

      My husband had two in quick succession, and it’s made him worse.

      I’m glad you found some relief!
