- Living almost in a state of complete unconscious – basically unaware of surroundings and having a memory of about one second and basically dependent on others for everything
- Finding everyone and everything irritating and frustrating
- Being just well enough that the pain really begins
- Trying to think or remember something and being completely unable
- Worrying about everything and being constantly scared of everything
- Having ups-and-downs in mood and energy by the hour and then by the day
- Basically being okay but adjusting to a new normal
These are based on my experiences. Some of the stages overlap, naturally, and have occurred in slightly different orders.
