In February this year, I was hit in the eye with a pickleball which caused extreme panic, dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. I’ve been to countless doctor appointments and hospitals, but It wasn’t until May when a new psychiatrist mentioned to me that this could be a potential TBI. I went to the neurologist in July, and sure enough it was confirmed persistent concussion syndrome. Of course nothing on my CT scanned showed anything because of this invisible illness. Over many long hard months, my physical side effects have went away but my anxiety, fatigue, and now depression have lingered to today. I’ve been on many different antidepressants, and the only thing that stopped the panic was guanfacince ER. I am currently trialing Zoloft and have made it to week 3. Of course on top of this, I completed genesight testing which confirmed I am sensitive to pretty much all antidepressants and lower dosing is more appropriate for me.

This is just a long winded, does anyone else feel trapped by their symptoms, especially the fatigue? It’s been an awful past couple of months and now that the panic has subsided I want to do the things in life that make me fulfilled but can’t seem to do anything. Any advice?
