That.. is not normal. Are you ok? Do you have a support network to just.. talk to about stuff?
Maybe try talking to a therapist just to see what's going on, no shame in that at all. Can work wonders just to talk about what you're thinking...
- johnward 10y agoThanks for caring. I have a close family, wife, and a 5 month old. I went to a therapist for about 1.5 years but it didn't seem to help much. I go to a psych now. I've been seriously trying to figure it out for about 8 years now but not really having a ton of luck. Believe it or now this is the best I have felt in a long time. Having a son is a good reason to stay around though. I honestly think I may have chronic traumatic encephalopathy but they can't really diagnose you without a brain biopsy. I got hit by a car and suffered several concussions in hockey and football where everything was just spinning. Sometimes I randomly blackout while working out.
- abritinthebay 10y agoGlad that you're on the up, a bit, at least. Randomly blacking out is... not good. I'm sure that doesn't help. Hopefully the psych will help but if, after 1.5 years, you feel the therapist isn't helpful maybe try a few different ones? It's not an exact science and finding the right fit can be hard.
