brain damage from birth

[HAWK77]

hi i had brain damage from birth my mother died last year just wondering how the brain effects emotions when damage

Hi Hawk, and welcome to the forum. It's common after any type of brain injury for us to lose control over our emotions. Sometimes, I can become distressed and angry over small issues, then feel nothing when something really awful happens.

Did you suffer brain damage whilst actually being born ; and was it due to lack of oxygen ?

And are you worried about your reaction to the loss of your mum ?

Please accept my condolencies. Cat x

That's an unusual story Hawk. I'm trying to build up a clearer picture so that I or others can offer support/advice of some kind. Do you live alone ............and are you mobile enough to care for your needs or do you have carers ?

[HAWK77 in reply to cat3]

yes i live alone i got a sister / carer but i should get my self a carer of my own and not burdon my sister with careing for me,

[cat3 in reply to HAWK77]

And do you know how to arrange for care ? Maybe you could phone, or ask your sister to phone, the Headway helpline. There are people who can help you in accessing all the appropriate agencies for your personal care and your health needs.

Please get in touch with the helpline tomorrow on 0808 800 2244 (free calls : office hours). You'll be greeted by an understanding operator who will listen to your needs and issues.

And remember we're always here if/when ever you need to talk.

See you again soon I hope Hawk. xx

Hello and welcome.

So sorry about your mum. It must have been difficult for you. Emotions are funny things - for those with brain injuries and for that without. Some people feel things really strongly right at the beginning, others take some time before the effect of what has happened sinks in. There is no right or wrong, people are just different and a brain injury makes everything just that bit harder to deal with.

Yes any damage particularly to the front of the brain can effect how you process emotions.

HI. Just to echo what the others have said. In some people BIs seem to heighten emotions. In others they seem to become less active. We're all different and there is no right or wrong answer.
