Hi, I'm so sorry you're having a horrible time of it. Those are questions we all ask ourselves and it sometimes feels like the answers aren't apparent. The one positive is that no two days can ever be the same....so hang on in there....no matter how long it takes - improvement will happen. Bi is a slow recovery process, frustrating and hard to manage sometimes. But keep going. Things will change :) x

Thank you Eleanor. i won't actually give up as I lost my own father some time ago f2f few years pre B.I . he was young and it hit me hard as regards family I have very little . I would not put my daughter through that especially by choice . it would only serve to emotionially harm her . i try to protect her as much as I can from all of this however inevitably it has affected her ..im still trying to damage control though. I just feel like giving up at times exhaustion I suppose ... nothing has been consistent as regards Support services .. G.P. or anything it's like I'm constantly fighting people to show them I have a disability in order to have the same rights everybody else takes for granted .. as if my nearest and dearest turning on me wasn't enough. Warrington health service as regards B. I and the problems it causes are diabolical .... the first thing that happened when I asked for support was my ability to be a parent was questioned. so I've been jumping through hoops to keep my child ( she was away temporarily) obviously attention to my needs went out the window. just don't know how much more can take . frustration is at astronomical levels . I've already been wrongly labelled by people who have an impact on my child and my life. It's a vicious circle at mo

every new dawn I wake up my tear stained face . put my mask on paint my smile on and try again ... despite feeling it's futile .. I really wish I could write my story, As the impact a B.I has had on anyone is awful but on a person that's been through care system and Domestic violence is different again and soul destroying . not that I'm saying any more traumatic as everyone's traumas are trauma to them . However attachment issues are already well rooted

I totally know why some go off rails via an addiction or other self destruct

Thank you Eleanor for your kind words it really does has an Impact on me .. this forum is the only place that I feel I can talk . relatively alone out here.

Hope you have a lovely day . thank u for giving me a bit more strength xx

Morning Vikki

It will pass. I too have days where it gets on top and I feel its tougher then usual but I know it will pass. Its always better too to talk to others and share your feelings.

Have a good day.

So very much are you also an amazing selfless person because doing your work to help others has resulted in you being attacked and left with a brain injury. xx

Pre injury I used to highly organised, motivated and could keeping things moving that would make a plate spinner envious. A bang on the head soon stopped that for a while.

However, after listening to the wrong advice for too long and not do anything, I got myself back into gear. One of the things that really helped was something surprisingly simple - cooking.

Cooking is a great way to test your organisational and planning skills but also you get a huge sense of worth when family and friends can enjoy the fruits of your labour. And of course if it goes wrong - hiding the evidence is quite easy if you have a dog or large bin :-)
