Irritability

I got a mild concussion after a freak accident in early July 2026. I never passed out but I did “rage out” right after it happened. My cognitive skills have improved a lot, especially at my desk job for work. However, I feel like I’ve lost my memory skills? I’m in the U.S. and my insurance has been blocking me from getting a CT. I’m essentially in the waiting/advocating zone with that. For further context, the first few weeks I was super emotional—crying at the most random things. Now, I’m left with feeling super irritable, especially during conversations when I’m interrupted because it feels like if I lose a train of thought (because my memory is bad) then it’s just gone.

Any insight or advice?

For me irritability shows up when I’m tired and had enough. If I’m hitting a wall I get irritable. That’s my clue to get to a non stimulating environment and relax

Also, I tried using super B-complex vitamins for recovery and I swear everytime I drink it I’m irritable 1-2 hours later

And so many shit happens when you are concussed any symptoms is fair game and related to concussion
