Trauma Brain

[kjharvey]

I am conducting a study, completely anonymous (helps that everyone has a screen name), more for myself than anything else. I came across a realization the other day and I wondered if anyone else realized or maybe close to realizing the same thing.

This is for those who experienced a traumatic event, big or small doesn't matter, that lead to the development of current symptoms (anxiety, depression, difficulty in public, anything, even overly pleasant).

When I got hurt I was angry, I had recently been in an argument with my significant other and was still stewing on it at the time of my fall. Since then, he has asked me quite frequently why I was mad at him. I don't feel mad, to me I don't sound mad, but out loud I'm snappy and rude. It dawned on me that I was stuck in the emotional state that I was in at the moment of impact.

So, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this same type of pattern or have similar situations where your outward actions reflect differently than your inward expression?

I welcome any and all replies, all info is kept confidential, like I said, it's a chance to learn and grow. Thank you.
