Thanksgiving is the one holiday I look forward to every year. This year was going to be no different except I was going to have my son for an extra 2 whole days, which was exciting in itself!
The morning started off bad because I had been suffering from a severe headache the night before and I woke up with it following me into the next day.
I got up and started to make my bed and in the middle of making my bed I crack my head again (for the 3rd time) on my ceiling. Immediately after that my mood turned from slightly cloudy to worst storm imaginable. After the hit I sat there on the bed stunned to what seemed like forever.
I was a storm not to be reckoned with yelling at everything in my sight. There was no way I could be around people today.
Long story short I made a hard decision of sending my son to Thanksgiving without me and as soon as he left out the door I cried my eyes out and passed out from exhaustion. I knew If I would have gone it would have not been good for me or anyone else around me.. I had to stay home by myself.
A decision I will regret probably for a long time, I feel like a horrible person. I don't even want to look myself in the mirror.
I am so upset! This concussion is ruining my life and my spirit. It is taking me forever to get better. It been a month and a half and Ive heard of some people with concussions getting better in a week or less.

Have you had a chance to talk to your son since then? So you can explain why you did what you did? If he knows the whole story about what is going on with your head, I'm sure he'll understand why you were acting the way you acted. Kids understand more than we give them credit for.

I did talk to him before I sent him off to Thanksgiving without me. I was very emotional when I talked to him but I at least talked to him. He is right here with me now, I get him till Sunday.

Hey, I am sorry to hear you are still suffering. I looked up symptoms after a concussion and it seems you are suffering from post-concussion syndrome (PCS) which can last for weeks or months after the injury. It is going to take time and you need to stop banging your head more! Look after yourself and all will be well. Your son will understand if you are not well.
Hope you are feeling a bit more chipper today. x
