Right.... What do i do now??

So.... Suffered a head injury last year, blah blah blah. I thought I was getting better. All the things that were happening because of the head injury stopped after a while.... Or I had just stopped noticing.... I'm hearing things again.... Arguing that isn't really happening, crying that isn't really their. Things breaking, someone running up the stairs. I literally thought someone was breaking in. Turns out. No. Just me hearing shit and losing it.

I can't pretend to know the emotional stress this must cause for you, but I do suffer from visual migraines, and after I was rear ended three years ago by a driver texting while driving, the visual migraines became worse. One side of my face sagged down so I thought I was having a stroke. That stopped on the same day while I was in the ER.

My eyes would "cross" but when I looked in the mirror my eyes were normal. I would have spells of vertigo while I was working or driving, and it was quite dangerous. I learned that the only way to cope was to cover one eye. Having single eye vision deleted the vertigo.

I can't advise you other than to suggest you try very hard to deal with what you have been given, as I did in a way much more minor.

For starters, you are going to have to pretend you don't hear anything. You have to become very good at pretending. Look at other people around you and if they are all looking scared and looking at the door, then someone is really trying to break in. Above all, remain calm, because your brain will create new pathways eventually. Walking and exercise make that happen faster.

@4meAndyou I've tried pretending, I've tried telling myself they're not there but I still hear them.

@HalfBloodPrince Of course you do. That is not going to stop anytime soon. You do have to accept that.
