The past 28 years have seemed to have more downs than ups, but I know without a doubt that I am a more well-rounded person for having worked through the many TBI issues I have faced. The road is still bumpy, however this is the time for us to inform the public about TBI. So many of us struggling alone when we could be working together to increase public awareness and improve our lives, as well as American unity. There is life after TBI.
Who knows the answers seem few and far between, I believe the key to recovery is good friends, but the sad truth of tbi is you are not able to reach out so you depent on people to reach to you, but we seem to get lost in time and reality
For some reason people cannot understand us, they want to hurt us even destroy us, they think we do the things we do on purpose when we just cannot help ourselves but they still want to punish us, hurt us. I don't think they realize they are killing us. I am 10 years into mine and the way people have treated me have caused 2 heart attacks and a stroke. Its a good question where are the answers if you find them let me know
I know how hard this all is, it can ruin ones life, you are a beacon to us all that there can be hope. I hope to attend your grief class at central washington university in june. Keep going you will make it if you believe
We will rise above the waves; no matter how difficult the trials appear to be.This is one of the better thing's I have learned about TBI's. We have so much more to learn and achieve in gathering Education, creating awareness, but most important, to those we have made a friend, stay a true friend.It will give us strength,encourage us to continue on.....
Wow this is very kool, I thought I was the only one who feels this way. I feel like I am losing my mind these emotions just suck. I don't know who started this blog but God Bless you. For the first time I had a momment of hope. And they are few and far between.
I think we become one with Gods heart, and where once we followed our mind we now can only follow our hearts. It is a blessing of salvation. We become true to Gods will and everything else falls short. And only those not of God cannot see this. They will want to destroy you. Follow your heart it will not falsly lead you.
I hear you all, it sucks people give up on us, the doctors don't help our families understand they cause so much damage, when all we need is love and patience to get through it, I am not sure if there are any answers
I have everything everyone talked about, plus I have had headaches for 4 years since the wreck, what is up with that, what can I do about it. Any one have an answer
It is such a hard journey, why can't people just get it they look at me and say your ok, there is nothing wrong with you, why does it have to be so hard everyone runs from me, I am a good person but no one wants to take the time to learn to get to know me, I cannot change I would if I could. We need someone to teach people to understand us, we are better than before just different but yet the same.
I am lost just like the rest of you, people think we wake up one day and decided to be someone different, but we are still here we needed your help to make it out of this horrible prison, but you only help build more walls till it is impossible to get back
My family left me, they never gave me a chance to heal, they set into motion a heart break that will not mend. To all those families who turned their back to loved ones it is more than anyone can handle they need you so much.
I chased away my family too, it was not what i wanted but it is what they took it as. I have no clue what happened I miss them so much it is all I can think about but I don't know how to connect anymore. I lost my ability to communicate with the ones i love and they stopped loving me
Guys we are all "F'd" face it no one cares they say they do but they don't. Get a grip it is how it is they don't understand and they never will, because they don't care. If they did they would help us not destroy us. So stop crying over spilt milk their gone and their not coming back. The sooner you get into reality the better.
You are alone, you have to pull yourself up and get out of it. Most don't but a few can. I think more could make it out of the pits of this new you. It will be the hardest thing you ever had to do but I know it can be done. You will be alone and scared but in the end you will be blessed with real friends that will stick it out through thick and thin. I think it is Gods way of weeding out all the bad apples in our lives.
It is all so sad, but I think what I got dished out was worse than if they would have left from the get go. My husband stayed around for like a year and a half then he leaves me, I thought everything was good. How lost I really was I never saw it coming the hell he is putting me through. It sucks so bad I wish I was dead. It is just not fair. I thought love was forever, better or worse but life is just a lie.
so do we just go into a different reality and we are forgotten. seems that way huh, I cannot sleep its been years of this I am always so tired anyone else alway just beat too. or is this unique to me sure would like to know
It so sucks, why can't people try to understand us, are we that much different, we have so much to offer and the love thats inside of us is true. I think all we need is love and affection and nothing is impossible for us. Its a change thats awesome if you let it be.
People hate that we become someone different, they want to punish us, hurt us or even destroy us. It just is how it is. So protect yourself and be smart. Don't expect anything from anyone.
this is interesting, there are a lot of other people who every just gives up. I thought it was me and was beginning to believe i was a bad person even though deep inside i know i am a good person. No one ever gave me the chance to learn to know me. i am not that different from who i was but enough that no one wants anything to do with me. we should all get together have a party or something. figure out how we can get the ones we love back before its to late. maybe it is already to late i dont know any more
Spokane has a wonderful place to come for support,,Washington Brain Injury Association Spokane Chapter, check out their wesite's tbiwa.org www.biawaspokane.org
Reach out and tell a friend, because we are not alone here, and strides are being made and we all need to become a part of the awareness to help educate those that have no clue, what better way to spread awareness than by those of us who have a TBI
I went to a support group meeting for the brain injury association and learned soooo much. And I met lots of nice people. I was surprised at how some were better off than me and some were worse off than me. It is the first time I really felt accepted and understood. Thank you
I have been on this long road to recovery 16 months 3 days. I am a survivor and very driven to get better and with the right team and support groups we can do it. I think the best way I can describe a TBI is to tell folks that have not had one to take there computer and drop it from upstairs or higher, then plug it in and see what data is lost and do not be surprised when it does not work right. The war is bringing more attention to TBI and they happen from many different ways. I will be honest and tell you I never payed much attention to TBI before now and learning is a new tool for me. The support group helps us and families learn and share what works. Please join us and see for yourself. We are all brothers and sisters and we can show them that we can move forward with the right team support.

I am so lost, I cannot like myself for some reason, How do I get out of this pit. There is no one to help me. Where do I go for help
Try not to lose hope when hope is gone so is everything else, I know how hard it is to hang on, but we have to try with out hope there is no life.
My family left me, they never gave me a chance to heal, they set into motion a heart break that will not mend. To all those families who turned their back to loved ones it is more than anyone can handle they need you so much.
It looks like were all in the same boat, what the hell happened to everyone and how do we get it back.
