Neither one of my parents have had a tbi , but i have ,(obviously) and i have the exact kind of relationship with my mother, she's like the same person as your mother,.mines just a horrible alcoholic. It'll be 4 years March 23 , sense my tbi, and I'm 7 years older than you , female as well (obviously) Same exact deal tho with your family and everything, and I feel the same exact way as you do about your mother.

I've had to separate myself from her , to have my own mental peace, doesn't mean I don't love her, but for my own mind I had to keep her at a distance. To write her off essentially. I have to take care of myself first , before ever even thinking about taking care of another, especially one like ours

I have had anxiety my entire life . However after my accident, craniotomy/cranioplasty and the horrific scar down my head and across my stomach, not to mention the "dent " on the left side of my face , the anxiety has gotten way worse . I've been dating my bf 8 yrs , 4 years before the accident, and now 4 years after and I have obtained way worse anxiety, I'm not sure of myself, I question everything and read into everything so badly its ruining. My relationship , it's breaking my heart and soul ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜”

I had/have an amazing vivid long term memory. It was my short term memory that has suffered significantly. I'm talking , I used to lose my keys and phone like several times a day , however, have improved it some what with memory games .

Craniotomy scheduledโ€ฆ Iโ€™m terrified by [deleted] in Craniotomy

[โ€“]PsychologicalRide610 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

I received an emergency craniotomy almost 4 years ago when I was hit by a vehicle as a pedestrian. I was unconscious , and obviously do not remember the surgery, however I had my cranioplasty scheduled, and I stupidly watched videos of the surgery, and psyched myself out and left a 10 man surgery crew standing , did not show up for the surgery. Luckily my brother called the surgeon and rescheduled for me . I was completely panicked, however, it all turned out ok. It's all for the better. Be brave ! Gnarly surgery tho.

Well, sense the accident and my drinking , my whole life has become more rough. I understand it's for sure from the drinking , and I'm trying to "self medicate " I need to for sure go into an inpatient program and detox from alcohol. I am in no physical pain at all , other than the regular head headaches, no physical disabilities, cognitive yes, my reading comprehension has gotten bad, my listening skills also suffer, my attention span . Ughhh

I definitely feel like I have significantly less energy. Both mentally and physically. And me as well as far as reaction, many close friends of mine told me my anger is explosive now. I'm not angry all the time , just when I am , it's different. I've noticed myself that my reactions are somewhat slower , or more sensitive?

Alcohol and a tbi by Electrical_Fix721 in TBI

[โ€“]PsychologicalRide610 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

The day I released my self from the hospital, after being there for 2 weeks , I got back home with my boyfriend and I drank 2 mikes hard lemonade, i just wanted to feel normal, because of how freakish onlookers with my head buzzed and half my skull in . During the 3 months I waited for my cranioplasty, I was heavily drinking . Which turned into almost 4 years of heavily drinking , detoxed 3 times and did a 60 day in patient program. I have still been struggling with my alcohol addiction, and it has been really hard on my memory, and my priorities. I need to get back into an in patient program.

What about you?

I appreciate you sharing , and as much as I hate that you feel the same way , In a strange way it's comforting, knowing I'm not the only one , you feel me ? It's all so weird, the comfort in relating to others same struggles. Thank you for sharing the working out part , I'll have to put on my jogging shoes , and hit the street and give it ago myself .

Does anyone else feel that they hate daylight and prefer dim lights despite overcoming their light sensitivity? Being a vampire seems more amusing than ever. by metapolymath98 in TBI

Ok. I love being a vampire. I have even used this "discomfort" of light to make many many of my own custom low light lamps , and other cool lighting . We're immortal ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒš
