In this personal video, David Brimacombe recounts how his post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) came to dominate his sense of self. He uses the image of constantly wearing an old, ragged “PCS hat” to illustrate how every aspect of his life revolved around his concussion symptoms. The narrative describes the narrow, all‑consuming focus that PCS imposed, highlighting the emotional weight of living with a condition that defines one’s identity. Throughout, he reflects on the challenges of this identity shift and hints at the broader implications for recovery and self‑perception.
