I'll try some cardiovascular exercise. I find walks in nature (there's a nearby forest) significantly improve my mental health, but they're not intensive. I've already discussed going to the gym with my GP (to fix RSI) so I should be alright doing some.

I've never had alcohol and don't intend to. Never liked the smell of beer/cider/etc, and with the concussion I see no reason to try a brain-impairing chemical when my overarching difficulty is with my brain being impaired. There isn't any peer pressure from friends, since they understand why, so I've had no problems with it.

I'll ask my GP about a psychiatrist referral. I've had a referral to neurology, who booked an MRI and referred me further on to a specialist, but there's another 6 months of expected waiting for the specialist. They also prescribed two pills for trying to control the headaches, but they've both failed (side effects and lack of effect).

Thank you.
