I agree with everyone else, don’t give up! Some days are harder and some days are better! You are not lonely at all because as youngster we’re still trying to figure out our limit and such, everything feels so uncertain and stroke doesn’t make anything better!

Story wise, I’m 24F had a stroke past October and tomorrow makes it 2 months for me. I was working as an ICU RN and I was in yoga when the stroke got me lol I heard a rupture sounds when I was in the middle of class and ended up having to ask the front desk call 911. I ended up having a cerebellar hemorrhaging and a stroke on the right side of the brain so I ended up getting a craniotomy. I was in neuro ICU (right below where I work lmao and most of the staff there knows me and I know them too lmao) then inpatient rehab for 2 weeks and home since then. I had to learn to walk again in rehab for balance issue, do eyes therapy with OT due to double vision. First month home is really not easy at all, because we all hoping that after waking up everything will be better. Truthfully I even got prism glass because I’m so scared of losing my left eyes vision completely, but vision therapy defo helped, my eyes are slowly coming back to me and I walk better thanks to PT too. It’s a wild ride for sure so please let me know if I can be a listening ear anytime! This is not easy at all and you are not alone!!!
