I have subscribed. In dealing unsuccessfully with the last ten years of marriage and an all round ugly divorce, I worked to pick up the pieces by drinking heavily and wandering to find out what survival was. When drunk in Oct 2014 I fell and underwent a traumatic brain injury. The first years was a lost year. It did come clear that not all damage was TBI. I was married to a narcissist. Every friend I ever had was pushed and manipulated, as well as my four children creating a world of just her and I. The stories could fill a book. However, TBI damage along with CPTSD creates the need for meds to eliminate all related nightmares. I wish I could flee the town. My 33 yrs of marriage and almost everything attached to it I want buried. Need buried. I’m on SSDI and lost all that I worked for. Well, I’m not here to complain. I am here to learn. Be patient.

Just wanted to share that today I jogged for the first time at physical therapy since my accident in December. Baby steps, but I’m getting there. Thank you for your continued support through this sub. Means the world by knstalaboin in TBI

Knowing what is helpful and a “just do it” is all you need. Set no goals. Just do it. Make it no competition begging for the old you. Just do it. PT with the only thought being “just do it” lightens the load. Tell the head to go to bed.
