Learning patience and acceptance of self after a TBI can be incredibly painful. It takes time and fortitude. Produced by Victoria Tilney McDonough and Brian King, BrainLine.
My memories feel like “facts” I know my friend likes this movie, the same way I know Abraham Lincoln was a president. No emotional ties or actual things to remember, just the facts itself.
I was shot in the head when i was 15 ,November 16 of this year will make it 8 years but i am still struggling with daily task and i feel like my life is falling apart, your video helped to shed some light, Thank you.
Vada, may God bless you and provide for you. I've prayed for you. When I was seven, I, too, was almost murdered. TBI is terribly hard to live with. I think those of us who do are heroic.
I was going to talk about my issues but damn,how am I supposed to complain about myself when y’all are recovering from gunshot wounds and other issues.I used to drive cars into trees out of anger and frustration and got a few head injuries building skyscrapers for 20 years.This is just the icing without the drugs involved.Now at 50+ am dealing with shit I would rather not.Memory issues depression confusion headaches weight loss sometimes and other times sharp as a tack still..Comes and goes but when it’s bad it’s really bad lately.Hope you all are feeling better and still moving forward and keep seeking information that could help,that’s what I have been doing.Stay positive. Cheers ✌️
I had a severe brain injury 18th Sept 2017, cycling and van drove in my rear at 70mph. Broke nearly everything as well. Ive been diagnosed with bipolar also in last 6 months. Its a bizarre life and been a huge learning curve. I’ll never work again and given 10 years life expectancy so not good. Everyone just try enjoy everyday , I try i live alone as I don’t feel safe around people but try hard to enjoy a walk or even a cake. No sense of taste unless incredibly sweet.
Epilepsy, domestic violence, concussions, head injury 😢. Anxiety, depression. 20 years seizure free. The meds caused EPS.( BRAIN DAMAGE) DYSTONIA, PARKINSONISM, TARDIVE DYSKINESIA, and Akathisia, and brain 🧠 injury according to my neurologist. It's progressing ...
I had 8 concussions playing sports growing up and now have BPD. I’m only 20 and have frequent headaches,emotional swings extremely,and if feels like I’m viewing life from inside my head while talking with some other dialogue. But my support system is amazing. Everyone here loves me and supports me and helps me through it. They constantly reassure me that Iv done nothing wrong and they love me no matter how I am. If you struggle with these things please hear me, it will be better you can’t lose. Someone can feel your impact. You can still save someone. You can still be heard.
What should I do if I get strange enough for the environment, I have no friends after got an accident that caused personality changes, people on college think I'm weird because I realize I'm quite different on college.
When I was 10 I was swinging on a big swing set and was going really high when the chain link snapped and I flew and did a face plant into hard packed sand, I don’t remember anything except waking up in a hospital, throwing up constantly, and repeating the same sentence over and over again. I had no mental health issues before this event and now I’m 23 - diagnosed with bipolar 1 and generalized anxiety disorder and my psychiatrist believes my brain injury has sparked these illnesses and it explains a lot. The timeline of my mental health issues lines up perfectly with what happened to me and I often wonder “what if I didn’t get a severe concussion?” Would I be normal today? Would my life have been a lot easier? So interesting how this stuff happens.
I was thirteen the swing snapped my left front side of my face hit the ground a couple of months went by what I can remember all this time I was bleeding inside my brain eventually peer pressure forced the doctor to send me to hospital I was taken to the sick Childrens hospital in Edinburgh I had various tests lumbar puncture etc the last one ultrasound on my head after that all hell broke loose I was transferred under police escort my mother told me because I was so ill I was transferred to the western general hospital in Edinburgh neurosurgery department they operated on me I can remember floating outside my body looking down oh and that bright light and that peaceful feeling after they took the blood clot away I was out of hospital in a week but had eight years as an outpatient I have learned to cope with any obstacle that comes my way but I am never the same Greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 the year was 1977
I think you got injured, ( same here) I saw a video on RU-vid the channel is Picking up the pieces How mushrooms repair a TBI I think I better do something.
OMG…. This just described a lot of my psychological issues since my ABI, especially the way you describe awareness of the brain being different. Frustration is heightened too. I also can’t stop questioning if I’m alive or not. I was in a coma for over a week so I know that doesn’t help. Wow.
TwoTBIs when I was very young and a cluster of three about 6 years ago. Absolutely no help. No idea as to what was happening. In a fight to get help: a hard, hard fight.
@@andreash.906 search up hyperbaric oxygen therapy. You might be able to get a medical diagnosis for a brain injury and then go get referred to hyperbaric oxygen therapy or, you can go to a privately owned hyperbaric center like this one oxfordrecoverycenter.com/therapies/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy/. I have not done it though because there are none in my area but, hopefully I can get enough money to do it later.
@@redlemur7944 I tried hyperbaric oxygen therapy, unfortunately the process was to painful for my head and ears to endure. I hope you will be successful.
My power steering went out while rounding a curve, and i drove 30ft straight off of a bluff. I hit the fuck out of my head on the steering wheel and passed out for an indefinite amount of time. I had major symptoms of concussions for a year after, but doctors told me there was nothing to stress over. I was 17. I'm now 20, and schizophrenic. I dont know if the brain injury sped things up or caused it, but if you ever get your head banged up, get an MRI. It could save you a lot of fear and misery
Hey can you please tell me this: If you KNOW you have a brain injury, but are DIAGNOSED with schizophrenia, but “they” won’t acknowledge brain injury, so they drug you according to being schizophrenic…. How does that affect you?? As a doctor told me bc a brain injury is irreversible, it’s pointless, and can be very harmful, to “medicate” (drug) someone with an ABI AS IF a schizophrenic…
Every case is different. My mother has paranoid schizophrenia and hit my dad almost every day during childhood. What I want to tell you is this. The first time you put hands on family (if that happens) start taking the medications they recommend. They slow you down and make you a zombie but its better than having zero friends and family interacting with you in a limited capacity out of obligation. My mothers was brought on by severe childhood abuse and trauma but not head injury as far as i know.
I wasnt shy before but im down right belligerent now. I dont care what comes out of my mouth and it almost feels good to speak..unincumbered if you will.

Can anyone tell me what is called when I hear people talking in my living room talking when I wake up in the morning?? It was the same voice of the ladies on the news TV I heard the night before..... but when I go to check if I left the TV on from the night before, the TV is off, but I heard the same ladies talking when the TV is off... this TBI is causing me some problems 😔
I know a story of a lady who healed from a TBI with a raw vegan diet. It took several months to see results but ventually she was able to return to her high paying career.
Tbis heal on their own. The brain has a lot of plasticity. It can rewire itself. Sometimes brain injury does cause permanent changes but there's tons of non vegans who recover from tbi and go on to work.
I breathed in a toxin at work. This caused 'enormous' 24/7 headaches for 3 months. Now, I have double vision in both eyes...everytime I push or indeed stand for too long I get enormous left sided headaches, double vision gets worse, fatigue etc. My neurologist says my scans are ok but I simply can't push out of it. I spend most days seated. It's been over a year now. I'm so unhappy. Does anyone know what I should do?
@@nylakhan5658 No, thank you for asking Nyla. Neurologists have given up on me. I can't walk 100ft without getting enormous headaches that don't go away. It's been over a year now. Stuck like this 👎
is not fun to had childhood TBI. i can't use my brain with the pain and in the school. i can learn between life and death , something not from school so trippy so grippy. i had hallucination , unable to describe how it felt , too young to understand the feeling. on the plus side, purberty help me to shaped my brain. now as an adult , i still do had mild feeling , something is going on with my head. on/off hallucination, worst during doctor given medication drug for my common ill and sick, i went on trip and glitch going high, my brain is like being raped/hijacked, but still taking the medicine even for flu only or cough syrup. only prayer and mediation can calmed my nerve , that's all i had.
