Hi DesireeStar and welcome to the forum. I was in a horrible car accident and have minimal brain damage that effects my memory. I already had PTSD prior to the accident, but I believe it took me about a year to feel back to normal (not the normal before the accident) The normal I was going to ever be after the accident.

Try not to beat yourself up over it. My GPA is not as good as it was prior to the accident, and I have learned to live with it. Comparing myself in pre and post car accident does me no good in dealing with the other issues I have.

It would be a good idea to focus on getting educated on your illness so you can feel better, instead of comparing what you once were, to how you are now.

Hang in there
Tammy
