Thank you very much! I found this forum few months back... and from that day hav been reading all the stories and experiences of people here. I am very glad.... m only nt one who is suffering those after effects of it.

I clearly knew that the conditions of me.. were of the after effects of meningitis only few months back. I was taken to hosp due to high fever and headache at around 4-5. At that time got well pretty fastly and was sent home after just 3 days. After heard that some meningitis things was suspected on me... was saying of doc.. It was only just saying of docs... my parents always say to me... and i was normal... (as there was no any physical problems that can be seen from outside), i was all good healthy... and fine so continue to live life normally.

But i felt that something was wrong on me... i didn't knew what was it... i just couldn't figure it out. I was average in studies... nt so good in sports... my speech was also nt so fluent.. and in top i was too emotional at many times...and get on to depression often.. and mood swings were also there.. But couldn't get a clue why was it like that to me...

I want be good at something... sports or music or studies somthing. But, no i was not. I was just average... i gotta struggle in everything.Just little clumsiness at all places. and every time time i thought that i was just too careless.

This way life pass on.... But my life was not stable... i was like a CAUTIONED person.

And one day when i was totally low.. i decided to know about that meningitis thing.. and read about it in wiki... When i read about it i found those after effects were jus like that things happening to me... I tried to deny it... i tried to nt think about it... but it just popped in my mind and get low all time thinking about those after effects.

Its now been 3-4 months i got to know about the after effects.. and from the time knowing about it... it has just been worse to me.. I just worry too much about it... i think that i am a disabled person... My concentration has just got worse after it... confidence was low when unaware to that,but now it has got worse... I think i couldn't do anything... just by losing confidence and thinking too much. then after that i will get all depressed and couldn't just think clearly. Mood swings and emotional changes are still creating lots of problems... in addition to that concentration problem, a little clumsiness and some slippery tongue while speaking. These are the after effects m facing now... Due to these after effects my life have become a way harder.

I am an engineering student.. and going to finish it... Now i am afraid that ... thinking about the problems... i m all creating problems in my life...I 'm all broken

I want to get these after effects a lil minimized or in sense that i can manage... So i cud lead my life and professional life a li'l easier.

Earlier to knowing about my these after effects when unaware about it.. i did have problems in my life... but i was nt worried all the time about it.. I was okay with my life... I din't have to think i do hav some serous problems of those after effects.. and life at that time was lot easy... being unaware of it. But after being aware...it just added too many problems.

Isn't there any treatment to get these after effects away ? Don't they ever go away ? I just want a simple and normal life... what can i do ? Please help.

I also haven't told what am i facing to my parents. I think it will nt be good idea if i tell them. I will no longer be a normal son to them. But i need someone to share my condition.. but don't know to whom? so tried to share something here. I think i got to see a doc and test about my condition but i don't think i cudn't do this. It might get a lot worse than this. What should i do ?

I think going to Yoga might help to keep me positive and remove depression.
