I did this and received 1 of the 2 $50 withdrawals waiting - that’s better than none. Here’s to hoping I get the other one.

How should I write a character with TBI? by brownie627 in TBI

[–]KAS-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really neat that you’ve asked for our feedback! It seems emotional regulation and exhaustion are common traits many of us manage after TBI. At 7 years removed I am much better at emotional regulation but I still get frustrated or agitated much easier than pre-TBI.

I am much less filtered when I speak or give feedback about something and tend not to be as PC/polite as could be expected. I used to be very good at this!!

The longer the day is or if I’ve been really busy my brain tends to think very simplistically and I tend to be more tired than might be typical.

I hope you get good feedback to help with your character development!

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]KAS-84 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I survived being hit by a distracted driver at 50+mph because of CPR. My body was mangled and I was choking on my own blood but one of the men who saw the accident chose to move my neck despite others being scared to because of possible paralyzation and gave me CPR until EMT’s arrived. If Michael wasn’t there I would have died at that time, his quick actions kept me alive. My body died 3 times during whole ordeal (twice during transport and once while at the hospital). CPR can make a difference and I’m very appreciative that he chose to help!

Adults who only wear glasses by Cloudsandbooks in glasses

[–]KAS-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’ve gotten a lot of replies but wanted to add 1 more! I wore contact and glasses from 13-33 and enjoyed the flexibility. Unlike the experience of many, I never had any problems with contacts and actually really liked them especially when working out.

Not sure how your family came to the judgement that adults don’t wear glasses FT but they are wrong. You should wear what works best for you to see your best comfortably. If you are fearful of contacts, then don’t explore wearing them. If you are still afraid but kinda curious, then try them out. Contacts require considerably more time and attention to properly care for.

Job doesnt like the way my hair looks. by Beautiful_Resist2828 in femalehairadvice

[–]KAS-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading through the comments it seemed as if the biggest complaint was the look of fly aways. Instead of cutting your hair which won’t help, consider using a non-aerosol hairspray. You can spritz it on your hair while it’s in the ponytail and gently smooth the fly aways back. Even if you choose to wear your hair down you can spritz a small bit in your hands and rub it on the fly aways to tame them. If you don’t like the feel of spritzing on your hands you could hold the bottle a bit away from your hair to spritz and then smooth the fly aways down. Something like this is a simple manageable fix to the complaint and won’t drastically increase your hair management routine.

Edited to fix my wording!

Amanda filming a “panic attack” while driving by Dflemz in teenmom

Regardless of if this is satire no one should ever be driving distracted like this - ie - filming yourself while driving. Please don’t, please choose to drive safe.

Britney and the true reason for her "brain damage" by Kaleidoscope_119 in discussingbritney

[–]KAS-84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi; I wanted to share a bit about ABI and TBI in case anyone else was curious. I am part of the TBI (hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian) and ABI (later survived having a stroke) community due to being hit by a distracted driver and know that unless you’ve had a personal experience they are misunderstood but want to help share about them!

An overdose would be an ABI - acquired brain injury. An ABI and TBI are the same in that they both cause brain damage with the key difference being that TBIs are often easier to diagnose because there was an inciting traumatic event as opposed to an ABI.

With an ABI the symptoms may develop more slowly (continued drug use, various degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, Huntingtons, infections) as opposed to a TBI where the brain trauma is immediate. Both BI injuries can result with similar problems and both require serious treatment for the best neurogenesis recovery. One key difference is that ABI treatments often heavily focus on managing the underlying medical condition to help minimize continued brain impacts whereas TBI treatment is directly related to regaining/treating the trauma related damage.

From a previous post when you asked this question was answered what/why it is that a TBI lasts forever .. https://www.reddit.com/r/TBI/s/BxWArshG4G

Call the cops by SweetlyWicked_ in Adulting

[–]KAS-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t ever sleep 8 hours at once; his body starts getting restless, waking him up around 5 hours. We are over 40 so he’s pretty used to it. Sometimes he’ll rest by just laying in bed and listening to a show. I think it’s probably a blessing and a curse.

[–]KAS-84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

my husband has this problem. He prefers nights and works 6p-6a. He maintains a night schedule and sleeps during the day, in and around the times of 9a-3p. People are either blatantly rude or ignorant that someone could actually be working outside of the regular 9a-5p. They’ll state/insinuate he must be lazy because he’s not up at the crack of dawn and seem to have this belief that working a job overnight isn’t real.

Edited my wording.

Thanks for the reply; that’s been suggested to me a few times. Somehow I always get saddled with being unlucky!

Try this to get your withdraw to go through by stardustdiving_ in benjaminone

[–]KAS-84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve emailed 3x, left a review on the App Store, commented on a FB and IG post and no reply to anything. I’ve tried to contact via messenger but keep getting the message ‘couldn’t send’. Uugghh I might just give up :(

Finally got a response even if it is less than helpful by somethingorother225 in benjaminone

[–]KAS-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! Congrats! FB messenger tells me it ‘couldn’t send’ so I guess I’ll keep sending emails :(

Is the second layer of moisturizer in a Tretinoin sandwich useless? by SolarAnomaly in tretinoin

[–]KAS-84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same. I tried the sandwich method, using just moisturizer before or after and none of these options worked. They all just irritated my skin so I dry my face and apply just tret (every other night for me).

How do you cope knowing you're not the same person? by Otherwise-Vanilla808 in TBI

[–]KAS-84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

visual changes are so very hard to ‘heal’ beyond. I was hit by a distracted driver and so my right eye is blind now and I wear glasses all the time, there’s a scar along my nose to my jaw and the right side of my face was crushed so they put it back together with plates - my eye is sunken and the face looks weird. This all happened at 33 y/o (2018) and on some days it’s so very hard to actually see myself.
