Concussion changed my personality and made me do things I wouldn’t normally do.
I am a 46 year old man. I was in a car accident two years ago. There have been many changes in my personality and behavior since my concussion. I have been defensive and impulsive. Prior to my concussion I was not attracted to women 18 years old and above as a 46 year old.
I have not been attracted to women that are 18+ or in their 20’s since my mid 30’s at least. I have only had about an 11 year gap in the women I am attracted to up until this point. I have been in a relationship with my SO for 4 years and she is devastated by this realization.
I feel horrible about the state that this has put her in. I know it’s wrong, especially considering I am in a relationship right now. Is there a medication or treatment that can remove that attraction and not just help control my impulse? I have tried mood stabilizers and they don’t do anything for intrusive thoughts. I don’t want to be this person anymore.
