Concussion makes me better at COD?

Ever since I hit my head I’ve become disabled. Srs. I forget everything, mid conversation I completely forget what people are talking about. I am confused ALL the time and it’s amplified my anxiety 10 fold.

However.

I have started playing MW again. And let me tell you. I am better than I have ever been. I’m streaking Vtols every hardcore s and d game. It’s unreal.

Would I recommend brain damage to increase your cod skills? No. It’s more like a pleasant unexpected perk. I think there’s some kind of karma thing going on here. Anyway that’s all for today, see you next time!

This is dumb. If your head is fucked you shouldn't be playing video games, especially anything fast paces with a lot going on. Not good for you. I actuslly tried to play cod even weeks after one of my head injuries and I almost threw up and had to lay down.

New MW is easier for some reason. Toll 4 years off from playing COD and I rack up kills like a madman now. Didn’t use ps4 online or even at all really during that time bar an occasional fifa or madden vs the computer.

For serious concussions you shouldn’t even be reading a book. Looking at a screen is a whole another level of damaging.

Hope you got cleared though.

Fuck I was mad looking forward to Gun Game on Grazna Raid and a bigger level but I couldn't get a kill with the pistol and kept getting murked. Hopefully I get Gun Game when I pop back on in a couple hours. Car ran out of gas last night (I hope and it wasn't mechanical) gotta go collect it. I had enough momentum to roll to a station didn't have to push but thats the one full serve station that turns their pumps off when they close.

you can still function after a concussion but its definitely not recommended. you still have some bad post concussion symptoms. be careful because youre gonna wake up one day and have absolutely no idea where you are or how you got there and youll just be in your own bed

I don’t know if you’re joking, but CTE takes several years after multiple injuries. TBH though going blank randomly feels pretty normal to me. Now I’m wondering if I have CTE

I was joking. I’ve had 2 major concussions one considered a TBI (blast exposure) and many minor. I’m terrified of the long lasting effects. So I’m deflecting using humor. Great coping device.

If you're that fucked I would say avoid video games, avoid screen time. Get plenty if rest. Drink some water, and give your brain some time to chill.

Head injuries like wu tang clan, are nothing to fuck with.

If you can't function at work, you shouldn't be playing video games or browsing NS... Just sayin

Yeah, Sleep. Listen to Dopesmoker by Sleep. That'll take up most of your time.

I listened to music in a hammock for 5 days straight. I wasn’t going to classes, looking at my phone, or watching TV.
