I am experiencing extreme mood swings, uncontrollable anger, rage, and severe depression. I will be fine one minute and the next I have to lock myself in a dark room away from everyone for days and just sleep. This behavior is definately taking its toll on my wife and kids, because the get the brunt of what I'm feeling. I was fine until I broke my neck Feb 2010 (C2,3,4,5) while playing pro football. The surgeons performed a successful anterior cervical fusion, but had doubts of whether or not I would ever walk or gain use of extremities. Since, I have worked very hard through physical and occupational therapy and have regained the use of my extrimities. My hands, feet, and lower back are completely numb, but you will never hear me complain about that, I have learned to live with it. However I feel that the injury has affected me mentally, maybe nerves which stimulate the brain??? Can anyone help? Maybe someone else has had this same trauma and experience this behavior?? Unfortunately I dont have insurance any longer, so to be honest I cant afford to see a specialist. Thanks
