In this personal monologue, David Brimacombe recounts a prolonged period of inertia during which he spent weeks, months, and even years confined to his bed, plagued by an inability to picture a successful future. He identifies the core issue as a lack of purposeful visualization—he was not actively imagining where he wanted to go. This mental block prevented any genuine recovery from his PCS (post-concussion syndrome) state. Only after he learned to deliberately look toward his desired outcomes and practice future‑oriented visualization did he initiate true recovery, marking a shift from hopelessness to purposeful action.

I sat in my bed for weeks, for months, and in some cases for years, just thinking about what am I going to do? How am I going to get out of this state? I cannot envision a future where I am going to actually be successful, where I'm going to be the person I want to be. The problem was is that I wasn't visualizing the future, and I— until I learned to look towards where I want to go, I did not start my true recovery.
