Feeling overwhelmed -- The emotional impact of stroke 

First of all, I want to say how truly BLESSED all these ppl are to have recovered as well as they have. They can talk and express themselves. My husband's stroke was massive and he laid on the floor for 3 hrs. before I got home. It was another hour until the ambulance arrived and transported him to the hospital. HE TRULY should not have LIVED. He did. He gets emotional very easily. He lost his speech, ability to read and write. He recovered his ability to walk. He should have lost the vision in his right eye, hearing in the right ear and should have drop foot. Prayers were a key factor in his recovery. He can't tell you how it's impacted his life. He can't even remember when it happened, which is probably a good thing. But, he can tell you he met Jesus on the floor! A stroke changes everything in your life. The best thing you can do is make an assessment of what you've got left, start building from there and move forward. But, it also takes someone who really loves and cares about you. I hope all of you have that! I feel it may be the most important thing!

My brother suffered a massive stroke, he flew airplane’s, was a chief engineer on a private yacht, traveled all over Italy….I visit him several times a week, he is now in an Assisted Living, has no insurance, waiting for SSDI. I will fight for him, he was an amazing brother & friend ❤️

I had stroke two weeks ago.. affected my right side..I'm walking and everything has come back..but legs tire quickly..it's nice to know that your not alone..god bless us all

I had a Hemoragic Stroke in December 2017. It has taken me so long to recover. I drive again, work PT, got married. My Stroke damaged my short term memory only. No physical effects.....it's horrible but I have survived. Very long recovery......

How do you get rid of drunken feeling pls help.

This video is 8 yr old. I've had ben diagnosed with Aphasia since March 2022 ..I think. I've had other strokes btw. I'm so lonely. Nobody understands. 0 Please help me. 🙏 🇦🇺

it is wonderful that these people harecovered.i lost so much. my daughter used to be my best friend and now I am pretty sure she resents me. We live in the same house, but she only comes in my room if she really has to. she just had another go at me and stormed out. I cannot answer a question quivk enough and people think I am ignoring them. sorry to bring this out via you tube, but I cannot work out how to leave a comment on the facebook page and I donot know how tomake an account

I had a stroke back in February of this year and it's been really hard but listening to everyone's story really helped a lot thank you

Wish they’d revisit these people to see how they are now nine years later or 10 years later. I suffered a stroke back in December and I don’t see any point for the future. I know people have it far worse but there’s a feeling of emptiness and darkness that I’m trying to overcome. I have my speech all I need to do now is be able to walkLike a normal person or almost like a normal person. I use a walker at the moment, for some reason I fear the cane, just the sound of it makes me sad even the sound of the walker, very debilitating lol

I had twelve strokes. My diabetes was misdiagnosed by 48 GP's, two physicians, two dermatologists and a top oncologist. I don't have mentionable medical care. Frustration runs high, as I have Afib, ataxia, aphasia and more. People around me, some with PhD's, are idiots who think stroke is cured in a week like the common cold. A leader in Parliament ridiculed, berated and belittled me for having lost much of mh executive functions. The Honourable Idiot has no mind.

my stroke was oct 21st 2021. sitting here i can relate to everyone but my fatigue kicked in and i fell asleep through the video and had to repeat it. tapping away on this keyboard with my right hand before my eyes shut on me again. best wishes to all

The one thing I hate to hear since my stroke fromppl is it’s going to get better from fucking ppl who have no idea. Ohh it’ll take time. Time for us stroke patients is a painful thing. Sometimes I wish I had died I don’t want to live like this

It takes time for our brain to process information

Thank you so much for this podcast It was very helpful to hear other people talking about their responses to having a stroke. I took away something from everyone's point of view

Don't think much intellectual loss; only mild limp.

I had one two weeks ago. Post Covid. Loved the Scotsman’s accent!

I had a stroke last april 2021 n i was exposed to mold but i was emotional

I had a stroke, I'd suggest that you don't just printing the words - reading them is hard because I had a stroke. I'd suggest that if you make these films, relieving on reading them is tough for a stroke person

I am a stroke survivor would be great to see videos of life after tecovey and rocess of recovry stes and timings quality of life after thanks
