Do I Have a Brain Injury? Symptom Discovery Quiz

I was in a car accident last year but after I thought I was healed and now it been almost a year and i have been progressively getting worse I have pretty much all of those on that list of questions should I seek medical help

WHY am I being refused treatment after 10 or more untreated t.b.i.'s???

I played football growing up and through college. 13 years total and had so many concussions I could not even guess the number. "Coach I saw stars. Shake it offf kid and go back in. Got it coach....." "Lead with the head" is what I was told. Im scared shitless because I literally have every symptom. Wife doesn't believe in CTE says I have mental issues. Older I get the worse I am. Don't like social situations. Anger explosive at times but don't act. Addiction switch all the time is now on. Thankfully realize alcohol is my kryptonite and haven't drunk in 8 years but anxiety, depression, forgetting where I put anything gets worse every day. Daily thoughts that I want to die but to chicken shit to do it. Noone knows what it is like in my skull and the more I try to talk about it it seems people shy away. I honestly hate my life and do not know what to do. I cannot live like this much longer. Already listed for donating my brain post-death. Zero ambition. Zero drive. I am a mental shell of a person and what I used to be. 52 years old and I want to take a bridge abutment doing 80. already made decision someone pulls in front of me, crosses over in my lane, I am not stopping. Hopefully head on so it goes quick.....

So I'm 19 now, and sometimes it's just hard for me to function as a human being sometimes. I suffer from a lot of this stuff, i.e. anxiety, impulsive anger, speech problems, decision making, etc. and it just sucks. I was abused when I was younger, and I feel like I've had more than one untreated concussion in my life. I got into a fight with my brother a year or two ago and I'm sure I suffered one then, since I had my face kicked into the carpet lmao. I had ONE confirmed concussion at school, since I was hit square in the face with a volleyball and started to stutter like Drew Lynch. After the ER trip was when I realized that I've had things like this happen to me before, but not on that scale of severity. I felt like my brain was punishing me because I'm an idiot. I can't remember anything for sh*t and I get bashed all the time because of it. All my life I thought that I was just stupid, even though I tried so hard to focus and just do good in general.

Hi...erm, I literally have every single symptom in this list, I am now freaking out, but I don't think the UK health system will take me seriously, but its getting worse, I feel like I'm days away from some sort of breaking point physically

Should I be worried if I can't find the right word to put in my sentence when writing after getting hit in the head by a volleyball (no symptoms rn)?

When I was roughly 9 years old I was being pulled down a large hill by a bike, I was on skates and my friend turned a corner quickly at the bottom my forward momentum wouldn't let me turn and I was going full speed.

I woke up on a hospital bed, only to find out I was never sleeping, I was talking nonsense and couldn't remember my name or where I was. I apparently went head first full speed into a curb.

I remember right before the crash but not the events in the 3 hours afterwards. When I returned to school after the summer I absolutely noticed a difference in my ability to comprehensively read, and do simple math.

When I was 15 I suffered another concussion with major memory loss, like months of my life were totally just gone. I didn't believe the doctor because I thought it was July but he told me it was October. I remember being really mad and recalling picture perfect what I had done just days prior. It was surreal when he made me look out of a window to see the Fall leaves on the trees. He had my mom bring in my Halloween costume to try and trigger my memory and it was like the memory of a dream.. like I recognized it but only sort of.

My grades drastically changed in school and I started to become worse and worse in social situations.

As I've gotten older my problems have only gotten worse, I lose track of time, I forget my address, I don't remember birthdays of my kids, I forget what people just told me.

My jobs have suffered from my problems, and I recently changed jobs to a high paying career. They sent me to school for training and I would read a page, and read it again and again just trying to get it to stick, but I was still getting answers wrong.

I had another employee come with me to teach me how to repair a machine and I watched him the entire time. Here I am two weeks later and I don't even know where to start on it.

I don't even feel like the same person, I know there is no cure for CTE and it seems like a death sentence. I'm now 40 years old and I've been hiding it and dealing with it in my own way...but I feel helpless knowing there is no solution and it will only get worse.

I have to say reading these stories about others helps knowing I'm not alone in this..but I worry for my future and my kids. And with no foreseeable cure, I totally get people's depression. It's a bad feeling knowing I hate what I've become... and it'll only get worse.

I hope research gets funded and nobody else has to go through this slow degrading process. I am being honest here when I say my kids are the only thing keeping me going.

I was beat about my head and knocked unconscious around age 5, my mother kept me out of school for a week while the bruises to my face and ears healed but no doctor... I am in my 60's now and have a myriad of issues listed above, am consumed with wanting to die. I pray for my death daily, suiside is not an option, but I hope someone will murder me and put me out of my misery.

Im 51 .. I've had nine concussions... I played hockey for 23 years and I can to this day still remember the last one as if it was yesterday.. Center Ice Collision
Which I ain't got blindsided
Unlike now back in the day very little was known about this disease
As well as another one at a pickup game where I literally was knocked out.. got up went to the bench and 3 hours later I was home but did not remember how I got home or anything
On top of this when I was 6 I was in the hospital for two months due to a fall from monkey bars at my elementary school hitting my head asphalt
I've dealt with several years of depression anger issues
now I'm to the point where I can't even remember where my keys are and I just set them down
I try to have conversations with people I forget their names though I've known them awhile.. I have trouble communicating words that are my head don't come out my mouth
With the depression.
I get in moods where I don't want to be around people now extreme anxiety.. stress at work tends to affect me more than it ever has
I was married and my wife couldn't deal with it so she took my kid and left
I have seen psychiatrist and therapist
Which for me was no help because all they wanted to do was put me on pills
I've been put on medications that make me feel like a zombie
The only thing that I do now is I use CBD.. it helps a lot with anxiety
Yes I felt that I've been going through this all alone
family doesn't understand it.. I'm kind of looked at as the family screw up
At an early age I turn to alcohol the kind of help me cope
Which in its own right cause me a bunch of more problems no driver's license loss of a good living wage
Thank God for this day I am sober
The best way I could put this at times it feels like someone else is driving a car that I'm in cuz I have no control
And that scares me to death
So for anybody who's out there you are not alone
I am lucky enough to have several good friends and a good woman in my life.. who is extremely patient and understands
If not for that I don't know where I would be

How the freaking heck am I supposed to sit here and read all that mess? I’d there like a short version I can take. I swear it be easier to cut out my brain and let u look at it!

Oh my god you all sound like me. I have either been knocked unconscious or had a massive bang dozens of tim
