Hi everyone, I experienced a TBI just over 2 months ago. While I've been experiencing the very common and well documented emotional side effects - anxiety, depression and mood swings, but I have been expecting debilitating body Image issues as well. I feel fat (I'm not sure if I've gained any weight, I can't tell but I was on bed rest for the first month), frumpy, unattractive and have trouble concentrating on anything other than obsessing over my body.

I did have a diagnosed eating disorder during my teen years and early 20s, but I'm in my mid 30s now and long ago recovered mentally and physically.

I can't find any information online about body Image issues after a TBI. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Thanks.
