Other Mild traumatic brain injury and c-ptsd entangled....

[micky]

so I have come to live with the derealisation episodes I get.the thing that bugs me and I think is bugging my partner is my slows thinking/memory problems and headaches.
my partner thinks they are down to the mild traumatic brain injury I received a few years back.she said I have changed since it happened.i don't have or show emotions and always have headaches.ct scans and mri came back clear.
some doctors thinks its because of complex ptsd,others thinks it the mild brain injury,they say complex ptsd does calm down after a few years and should not cause the memory.slowed thinking or the headaches.
any advice?

Are you in therapy??? The thing with PTSD is yes, it can wax and wane as far as the symptoms are, but you never really get rid of it. There have been times in my life, that I'm symptom free ( like now) and then something will trigger me, depression will hit and the PTSD shitstorm will hit full force.

The headaches.... I've had Migraines for over 40 years. They are less now, but still have them. Are they PTSD related???? Don't know! Don't care, just want them to go away forever!!!!
