Bad Temper

[Melly43]

Hi all! It's my first day here. I had a sub arachnoid Aneurysm & two mini strokes back in 2013. Apart from being numb on my left side, I have no physical issues but my mental health & temperament are awful & it seems to be getting worse. I'm really struggling atm (being stuck at home in lockdown doesn't help!) Has anyone else suffered mentally with their brain injury? I just want to know that I'm not alone. 😊

Wow. Its hard enough to go through what we have been through but to go through it alone like u did mustve been so hard. I hope ur recovery road isn't too long. I know it can take some time & still being in a pandemic is making it so much harder. I feel for u hun. Thanks for ur message. Big hugs xxx

Hi...I had a burst brain aneurysm and mini stroke in 2015 and I was like a child growing up again, swearing badly and getting aggressive and angry at the slightest thing going wrong. Unable to remember whatever I just thought to say and smash things angrily in the house.Still do most of that now, it does seem to comes and go... also very hard to talk to people too so give up on that really...poor people who have to deal with me.

Music is good for taking my mind off things and gardening...luckily got through my driving re-test too.

This is first time I've replied too anyone on here but when I read your message I recognized somethings that I don't often hear people mentioning ... not just me being angry wahoo!!!

Hiya. Yeah I totally agree with everything u are saying. I recognise that I do this so I've distanced myself from everybody so as to not upset them. In turn its made me so lonely & probably more bitter! So I cant win! Thanks for sharing with me. Makes me feel less of a psycho! Hope u are well xx

I’m the same my temper seems to be getting worse also I’m a nice lad most of the time just like things to go smoothly and wen they don’t my heads goes

[Melly43 in reply to Wez0161]

Thanks for the reply hun. Yeah I know what u mean. I have good days occasionally but it seems like the bad are outweighing the good at the mo. It is difficult because I used to be a social butterfly but now I just stay away from people so I dont offend or annoy them! Big hugs to u xx

You’re not alone I had two strokes and aneurism clipping-two year on from my mental health has deteriorated and I’m very much more assertive but it is more less than at the beginning xx
