Did you ever know libertyteeth on here? He was actually an old political ally of mine from long before steemit, I just happened to run into him here like my first day. He suffered 5 serious concussions, it was REALLY jacking with his life. He is undergoing stem cell therapy now, and having FANTASTIC results. If you find you can't get over some hump, that is something you can look into.
I have no doubt you will find a way to make something good come of this.
