Living With Traumatic Brain Injury 

Whoop whoop 🙌

My TBI was the same year as yours... It has been a LIVING HELL for 27 years!!

I understand how you feel. Tho I haven't had any accident I was diagnosed being on autism spectrum and it actually feels like my brain is injured in many different locations. I get this psychotic disorganized waves and my cognition sucks badly. I do exercise alot and play chess, eating healthy and it has helped. I would recommend you to try the same, I believe the brain have a great possibility to heal. But still I can feel that something isent right in my head and it is extremely frustrating, I can be walking outdoors a sunny day and just from nowhere functions stops to operate, I then run home and get to bed fast to rest because I feel so bad and out of control I sometimes just think to myself why me? How am I supposed to live with a brsin that can fail me anytime.. It has gotten better but fuck! I know I am a warrior and I'm actually happy about myself being this strong. It has given me alot of self confidence and insight. Hope you can view some of the good benifits. and keep making progress looking forward to becoming better everyday

I feel the exact way today... Sad😢...

As far as his love ones being with him is so true Im experiencing my wife and girls really wanting to go a different direction with me! Im 9mo into my recovery I was hit on my motorcycle coma 15 days I would never wish this on anyone! I feel Kasier really dropped the ball on my accident!

i cant imagine your pain. god knows what is coming for them if they left you because of your TBI not even caring for you.

This, I think, isn’t meant for people with TBI. I think this is for academics and for educating the family and friends of the injured. RU-vid can hold your place in a video. Maybe you can leave it open in a tab and take it in pieces? I hope your recovery is going well,

Did you get brain injury from takin bipolar meds?

I am on several medications for anxiety,depression etc... sometimes they work and sometimes not so much...

He's the bees knees.

How are you feeling now

yes

Good question

Yep pretty much.

missy mason when I was 20 I went through a windsheild at 70km/h. I have traumatized brain injury along with depression, anxiety , insomnia and chronic pain all due to the accident. Just over 2 years later now, im doing alot better than I was but I'm not who I was. I told my mother still to this day I dont feel like myself anymore I feel dead inside. I lost who I was the joy and life I had. I lost joy in just about everything aspect of life and stopped going to school altogether. It was only the last 6 months I was actually diagnosed so I lived all that time not knowing what was really wrong and why I felt the way I did. I became a very shelled nervous person when I was so loud and outgoing and always being the first to jump to a situation. Its ruined my life so far and taken away my career I had already spent 6 years working at. I woukdnt wish any of this on anyone, and wear your fucking seatbelts because I wish I did. ❤

@@TommasoFirmini don't know if you'll get this so much later than you posted. I'm 22 years on from dying inside as you say. What helped me - slowly - was not trying to get yourself back and not trying to leave yourself behind either. Just be patient and stay safe, by keeping contact with places and people you know but trying different things out a tiny bit at a time, waiting till you feel a spark. You can fan the flames of a fresh self within what you have left over. Sometimes it's fast growing, sometimes slow, but you just keep an open mind and stay safe. It gets better, it gets good. It stays pretty hard but it honestly gets good as long as you don't make too many big or sudden moves. You gotta think if it like a little green plant or a little fire - you gotta feed it and keep an eye on it and protect it because it's always, always gonna be younger than you/who you were and you're probably the only one who's going to understand that so you have to dictate the terms of your life - safety vs new, and you'll get good at it. You'll get away with it I mean. I'm only maybe 5 or 10% dead inside now and i almost never go those places. They didn't get smaller either really, i just got bigger and worked around them. Hope this helps, if not you then someone else feeling like they're watching themselves in solitary. Love to you all, little sister and little brother brains ✊

very terrible short term memory - explosive anger outbursts - trouble communicating - bunch of arguments/fights - completely forgetting what the conversation was about mid sentence - personality change - mood disorders - problems with facial expressions - not understanding jokes - isolating yourself - not participating to fun activities - no relationships - no interest in dating - no happiness - suicidal/depression.. and a whole lot more its probably the worst disability you can have because nobody can even see that your brain is damaged and you cant fully know what it has changed about yourself, just a whole lot of negatives that come from TBI basically my life was ruined when i got it

My brain injury was anoxic, at birth, and not traumatic, so completely different bag of marbles. But my experience was like that too. Pain, memory problems, mood problems, organizational and executive problems. I had the gift of neuroplasticity when my injury occurred, and my personality wasn’t formed yet, but it sucks and it’s not good. There are no upsides to brain injury. It just sucks.

​@@julirohfit8570 I can relate. Got my skull fractured leading to a brain bleed. Had surgery immediately at 14. I'm 45 now and sick of suffering.
