Difficult coping with late effects of brain injury

Hey, Dan! Obviously i don’t know much of anything surrounding your medical history, prescriptions,etc.
who is your family? Does the frustration occur in any other setting? Rather than depression/anxiety, my guess is that you are suffering from a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Thing is,
the medicine would be exactly the same; treating the symptoms. Whether or not you stay with this job, I would suggest finding a very good psychologist/psychiatrist with whom you could talk and get counseling in addition to Meds.
You’ve been through a traumatic experience. You have “Lost” some of your foundation to stand on and cope with any continuing stressors.
Living a “normal, active life” is best as much as possible. While work is causing so much stress and frustration, not working now, will only give you temporary resolve. SSDI is generally nowhere near your current income. A difference in income may soon cause stress, also.
