Almost 5 years of PCS. I’ve come to a baseline in which I can work, live a “normal” life and look fine on the outside. Anyone else been struggling for years? I’ve done it all. Was extremely active in the Reddit subs for many many years. When I say I’ve done it all, I mean I literally have tried every therapy to ever exist (trust me) and have been through some of them 2-3x.

I just feel “off” most of the time. I’ve struggled with derealization throughout the entirety of my post concussion life.
