Welcome to BTG I am noise intolerant and hate crowded places. Ear plugs are a good idea if you go anywhere noisy. I avoid crowded areas like the plague even going to the supermarket when I know it will be less packed and quieter. On saying that, 3 months is very early in your recovery, so you need to be taking baby steps to avoid taking backward steps. Anxiety is very common after a SAH. If that is really causing you a problem, it would be wise to see your GP and ask for counselling. As for the gym, take medical advice as to when it would be possible to return to that activity.

Welcome..As Super Mario said 3 months is really early into your recovery. I know it is hard to be patient but brains heal slowly. I too had problems with crowded places...I think for me it also involved and still does the fear of being bumped into as my balance is not what it was. I work around it best I can and find I am able to do pretty much everything I did before. I had anxiety after and found seeing a counselor helped me but time has also helped. Go slow and steady, be gentle with yourself. xx Jean

Hey everyone I have the same issue, its been 3 months only since my SAH and I miss getting back into the gym, my problem is that I can not stand crowded places anymore or too much background noise. Does anyone have a similar issue? also anxiety its been nagging me more often now. Thank you for reading my post!

The comments are so very true. I myself feel as you do some days, so very tired and feel very low.Other days feel not so bad. l now become very dizzy when stooping l also feel physically sick.

I second that comment Teechur. I also feel that life is too precious to waste on those wasteful pursuits. Then again I might forget all this and go back to the bad old me. Hope not.

It's been 2.5 years for me and I am actually a lot calmer than I used to be because anger and stress feel like such a waste of precious time and emotion. I do still have daily headaches and am in treatment for them. Fortunately not everyone gets those, although I know of three people who were and are extremely active (like me) and deal with them too. I have minor memory issues. Fatigue, for me, does not come from overdoing it physically, but on a bad head day just having to think and work as a teacher can exhaust me.
