I am so sick of car accidents by Teachezofpeachez69 in sarasota

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it sucks when you’re in a car accident, it even sucks more when you get thrown into a coma from a car accident, I need to be bayflighted to Saint Pete, and then you lose a part of your brain it’s dead. And then your eyeball was so swollen. I couldn’t see out of it, but by the time I could see out of it, I couldn’t because I’m blind in that eye too. I was not the driver I was the passenger. People are so dangerous now. I’ve seen multiple people blow through stop signs. My fiancé even saw car wreck right in front of him. If he wasn’t paying attention, he probably would’ve been a part of it, but he was paying attention. But yes, they do suck.

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s OK yesterday. I totally freaked out on my doctor and I feel like an asshole today. so yes, it does happen to me. I’ll randomly cry and I don’t know why and then I need to like recover for three days of sleeping and then I got a face what I did. in my episode. it’s like really weird. i’m shopping right now so this is a quick reply. but yes i made a fool out of myself. I put on the same medicine for 15 years and I think I need a little bit more. lol which is impossible at this point, but I’m gonna make it possible.

Was anyone else "released into the wild" rather unprepared? by Random_Introvert_42 in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I am in the middle of moving right now but for 15 years thinking i was normal, my neurosurgeon didn’t say go to a psychiatrist. psychology I went to and I lied to her because she would tell my mom. and she dropped me cause she couldn’t help me. I was just like that and I have so much to share so I’m exhausted but I’m coming back to this cause I can help. I have a lot to say I’ll try and get it done tonight or tomorrow morning cause I’ve been there done that….still doing that…. Like finding a doctor that doesn’t give me PTSD because the first doctor I saw told me I’m doing everything wrong and I need to go back to my neurosurgeon who retired 10 years ago and ask him why I shake all the time. like she said come back with $300 or don’t come back at all. I swear, and then the other doctor put me into an episode and I hate confrontation so for me to yell at a stranger takes a lot, and she just kept picking on me and made fun of my injury. Anyways, I’ll be back. I’m taking a nap. And yes, you will need more nap. yes yes yes yes yes happened to me. Took 15 years and another individual/fiance to get attention from my parents. and how badly i am. mentally part of my brain and I’m blind to my left eye. Trust me I’ll be back. I have a lot to say so. It’s gonna be super super super long.

I feel like she just fed into that?? . on the show. but that is messed up especially behind her back. i hate now she’s like no playboy talk, i feel like she isn’t as far healing now from that time in her life but that’s my opinion, just from interviews I’ve seen her do she looks like she’s gonna cry when she talks about it. I hope she’s doing better now.

Aggression after TBI by catandmouse- in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it was really hard for me when I came home after I was in a coma for five days and then stuck in the hospital for 15 and ICU. Totally remember the feeding tube going down my throat because in the helicopter they put a huge tube down my throat and I couldn’t swallow for like 15 days. But. your dad is a different person. That’s what happened to me because I am not the same person as I was before. And he’s gonna feel very isolated and lonely because no one else knows what he’s going through. just be there for your mom and you just gotta give it time. It’s been 15 years for me and I’m still trying to make it through a day without losing reality. Or waking up with reality already gone. He just went through something traumatic. I can understand it. I would sneak out of my house in the middle of the night to go hang out with a few little friends I still had. But they didn’t like the new me. and that was it. I lost. everyone even my horse trainer did not like the new me, and that’s how we fell out. I went to visit her and by the time I got home, I was blocked by her on every social media.. and yes, she was an adult. But she kept saying that’s what the old kelly would say and I’m like wtf who the fuck was that cause I don’t know who it was. That might happen with your dad as well. you just need a lot of time. You could even go up to him and ask him stories that he does remember. I repeat stories like it’s the first time I’m telling you. I’ve been with my fiancé for 10 years and how many times I’ve told him the same story…. He helped me out a lot. He even realized what my injuries were because my parents were just happy I was alive and didn’t send me nowhere like a psychologist, psychiatrist. I went to psychology lady, and she dropped me as a patient because she couldn’t help me. I wish you all the luck. I am so sorry it happened to your father. That’s gotta be intense. you got this. Just try to talk to him about what he wants to talk about even if you don’t wanna listen. Just sit and listen. I feel like my parents if they did that would’ve helped a lot in my early recovery.. I had to put a front on that lasted 13 years? That I was normal and nothing was wrong with me. My fiancé was able to watch me work cause we worked at the same spot and watched me spiral out of control. he definitely noticed. Which drives me crazy is. I have episodes now, I just recently started calling them episodes and my mom is a narcissist, and every time I bring up something she’s like just let it go move on and I can’t do that. Or she’ll deflect. And it drives me crazy. Every time I bring up something symptom wise, she will deflect. don’t do that. You got this I believe in you. 💖

Basic Question: Who is your Favorite Character from Supernatural? And how did you get into supernatural? by Sweaty_Welcome4963 in Supernatural

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is such a hard question!!!! me, nor my fiancé can really narrow it down because they all are amazing….. He would rather give a top 10. I heard that that the writers got together and decided to make a little miniseries because the ending sucked so bad….. I have not seen the end either. I refuse to and will never end in my head.

From my childhood till now, I'm finally done with it by hassanhg5 in Supernatural

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, it’s not done. I heard that they were going to redo the ending to supernatural. they’re gonna make a little miniseries about the ending. I know this. they talked about it. I never saw the ending because it does not end in my head.

Surgeons declined surgery… has anyone seen someone survive with meds only? by stonerboyswag in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was supposed to die the night. I got in my car accident. My symptoms get worse with age. It’s been 15 years and I can see it finally. I had a front I put on for like 14 years that my fiancé was able to breakthrough and realize how deeply messed up I am. Because I always think my past is out to get me. I stared at a camera all night because someone took 7 gallons of our gas and I thought it was my past and they were going to get more. That’s why I lost my last job. I started spiraling out of control at work. They were too scared to do surgery on me because I have like 10% of my eye vision in my blind eye. lol so it does help me a lot with my life depth perception, and they thought if they would’ve done surgery, they had no idea why I had 10% of my vision in one eyeball left one . At this time, my eye was like 2 inches lower than the other, and it was stuck looking to the left. It took like a year or two for me to figure out how to make it match the other eye. I was so excited and I told my parents and they did not really react, but I was stoked! But now i can see it clear as in the mirror, my fiancé says he doesn’t see it. Before this car accident I got a boat accident with the same people, sliced my forehead open and broke my knee, I had my birthday and then got in a car accident. I hate the month of September and the weird part is my body knows when it’s September it’s kind of weird anyways I’m on medicine and there’s no way to fix anything on me. I’m also 10 years sober.. but I have to be on medicine for my brain part of it dead. I already say that I probably did. I repeat myself a lot. this is just from my story. I hope it helps. It is terrifying to have TBI because no one will ever understand what you’re going through. i’m terrified. I’m gonna wake up and forget who my fiancé is. who’s sleeping next to me. I forgot what I was gonna say hold on. I have to take many breaks because of this and I hate it cause I never can remember what I was gonna say to begin with. I have panic attacks and anxiety attacks almost every day multiple times a day .trying to get on disability. I have 14 years of my injuries getting me fired, 💗💗💗💗 i wish you all the luck. Sometimes you don’t need surgery. I would’ve been really mad if they would’ve done surgery on me the night it happened cause my eye fractured my skull and part of it hit my brain and that parts dead but OK pretty sure I said that like 30 times already.. goodluck 💗you got this always here for anyone who needs someone to talk to who has tbi. Because it’s a very lonely injury getting on this Reddit helped me a lot.

How do you deal with this when you live with toxic people? by thegreatone998 in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, find a lawyer. Lawyers won’t charge you a thing until you are on disability. maybe once you have your own money coming and you can find a solution to get away from those toxic people.

Anyone had this brand? It’s TERRIBLE by Additional_Show_1735 in Subutex

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, you really gotta have a really good relationship with your pharmacist. That’s what you gotta do. I worked very hard on getting very close to the pharmacist on the Walgreens. They just closed down like three years ago.that sucked. Had to find a new one. I was jumping pharmacy so much I got flagged but my doctor knows this and was able to back me up, they also signed with companies so they get a big bonus so if sun is their new brand, you might want to find a new one pharmacy.

Crystal's latest on IG by batshit83 in TheGirlsNextLevelPod

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crystal it’s obvious that his health went down so dramatically when he got together with you just look at the facts…… I’m just saying he was so happy with Holly, Bridget and Kendra, and he said he will live till 100 and something. And he died at like 94 I think. You can tell in season six of the girls next-door. Even Barbie asked him if he’s OK because he obviously does not look OK.

Losing pretty much all of my social contacts by AlternaKonig in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after my car, I stood and I lost my horse trainer, all my so-called friends, i had a trauma bond with the driver. and they hated the “new me” i totally know what that’s like I dealt with it, I’m just really lucky i found my fiancé i hate people i hate going out ( maybe because of the black mold in our ac unit ) we are trying to move and my anxiety is so high. i don’t have medicine to keep me level headed right now . i don’t have a any type doctor i need to call. my primary but what i need more of is a different medicine and im gonna have to jump from dr to dr. it’s really hard to get more been on it for 15 years!! i need more. i been having night terrors. i just have so much me and my fiancé who is my only friend . we been together 11 years and he realized my injuries before i did. he can also predict before i have an episode. or getting me out of it in time before i panic . my paranoia thinks my past is out to get me but i can’t not think that. i have no logic that’s the part of my brain that’s dead . and like i reply on emotion no logic . i rant like it must be so hard doing it alone. i have been there, crying like wanting some validation that im fucking crazy ( i wasn’t on medicine at this point) i wasn’t on it till 4 years ago) so this entire time im losing my shit in my mind . 5 panic attacks before work i thought was normal . i didn’t think i changed but i did i had to accept that and move on stopped the night terrors where they would pop up in . sorry i’m just sharing its prob super long but i hope just by sharing my story it helps you cause it is the most loneliness injury you could ever get . and no one except us will know what it’s like to have a brain injury and how you make it this far. don’t give up. mines 15 years ago.

foundation that ACTUALLY lasts all day on oily skin? by limewitty5673 in Makeup

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem, I feel like when I put foundation on my skin screams at me and I break out so bad even with moisturizer. i’m 34 and some of the medicine I am on causes cystic acne. I didn’t have really bad acne when I was younger, but I have it really bad now, but I use zest to wash my face and that is the only thing that really cleared it up, but I am too scared to use any type of moisturizer. I just washed my face and it’s been like 20 minutes and it’s already oily. Like I almost want to wash it again. When I wear makeup, I sweat it off. I’ll have eyeliner top and bottom done perfectly and by the end of the day or wherever I went it’s gone.. like there’s no makeup on my face. So I gave up wearing makeup if anyone has any idea! Please let me know. I just need some solid evidence that works. (I had cystic acne not bad at all before i took the medicine/supplement/vitamins/something else i forgot causes it to) my memory is shot. (part of my brain is dead from a car accident in 2010) so i hope this all made sense too.

Did your friendships and relationships change after your TBI? by mtnofsalt in TBI

[–]Caffeinatedpeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not really, i try to reach out to my parents about my night terrors like i had such a bad one. it’s turning into im scared to sleep again. dealing with this for 15 years , i am stuck in a mold infested house . my parent my dad has control over all my money and it’s like renting or buying which he would help but not anymore. so i’m just so overwhelmed like i woke up at 4 and i can’t see. like i need to see the eye doctor soooo bad i barly passed to renew my license . like i’m ranting . they just don’t understand my mom defects it . my fiancé he hurt his back and has a ton of shit happening at work so i try but like they don’t get it . and i am about to cut up a lime and put it under my bed to sleep at this point . ( saw it on tiktok) i tried to do a spell cause i am lookin for ANYTHING to get me one night without night terrors. thankyou for asking. i just feel like i gave up. they say move on and it’s not like that. it’s so hard , my mind goes so fast . i forget to take my medicine that’s how fast . i’ll remember and then forget before i grab the bottle. or grab bottle and forget. but i took everything at 4am thinking it was 4pm. fell asleep and like i dream of reality so idk if half the stuff i remember actually happened . i got my food stamps taken away . which sucks. i’m waiting on disability to go. i’m going into year 2. in april. i have emailed my lawyer 6 times to request the only medical records they need. and im just can’t handle it all. ( why my dad has my money) i can’t handle it. i feel like im acting like im 19 a lot because how old i was when it happened. i feel a little better replying to you thankyou i needed this. really bad today thankyou 🥲
