My Brain Hurts is about the concussion I sustained on August 28, 2018, and the months that followed. It’s about sitting out my senior season of varsity athletics, forming a concussion support group, disobeying doctor’s orders, turning twenty-one and struggling and then learning to take care of myself. It’s about headaches, meltdown Snapchats, dark rooms, emotional breakdowns and dizziness. This book is about what I did and how I felt when my brain hurt.
