Emotions after BI

[keeley24]

Does anyone else find their emotions different after BI? For me I seem more emotional over daft things tho most people don’t notice luckily.

It has been mentioned a while back at BI group I go to and some people get less emotional after BI. Next week the woman who has jointly ran it from it opening 2 years ago is having a leaving party which has been planned by the other staff to be during the weekly social time so we will all get to say bye to her. I know it will be mix of happy and sad for everyone but I think I didn’t realise how the man who set up the group would be feeling til yesterday. He does have short term memory problems not that you would notice. He’s planning to start a running club with a few people and said it would start next Tuesday which is the woman’s leaving party. I thought he would do running after that as that is what he’d said except he didn’t connect the 2 being the same day. The time of social time has changed slightly adding an hour to it so I checked with him about it. He doesn’t get emotional much since his BI so I thought he’d be ok doing running club after the leaving party, but he said as it’s going to be sad day for everyone he will start running club week after as he doesn’t feel he would be able to give everyone the attention he needs to. Bit disappointed but do feel sorry for him as it’s going to be hard for him as for last 2 years the 2 of them have ran the group equally doing stuff with us and if I’m honest some of best times I’ve had there have been with them both there.

I have had more different conversations with the woman about having my BI and being in coma after even talks about things happening in the group there was a man who joined and was over friendly with all women and someone told woman and she asked everyone if the man had contacted them and eventually stopped the man going as a few people weren’t comfortable with him. Even odd time she’s had disagreements with man she worked with she’d mention what had gone off which I know not everyone will think she should have but definitely made it easier to talk to her. One thing I will miss that I never thought I would. Will be bit sad next week especially as seeing the person leaving and any jokes we have will probably be sad knowing it’s last time we will have them. But on plus side still enjoy going to the group seems we may be doing more walks and enjoyable stuff I want to walk 3 Yorkshire peaks had wanted to with both man and woman, but man doesn’t think I’ll manage so is planning shorter walks to build up to it. Running club and training for marathon relay in September. So could be most enjoyable time coming up.

Certainly, yes. My emotions are very different, very dependent but then if it's a good day I can be quite independent. I like travelling around on the bus and meeting people. I like to talk about the NEW Headway Advice Together Service (HATS) on the Pier which is opening in November. We are moving mountains for Brain Injury survivors, by The Grace of God !

CHEERS !

Seems to be daft random things with me stuff that doesn’t matter to me like football at min England winning I well up no idea why I only watch football when it’s World Cup or euro. Today going through videos I got of people at BI group and got good one of woman who is leaving and had few tears in my eyes. Can’t understand why cos as much as I do like her and have had a few laughs with her it seems like things should get better there now as the woman has been showing she’s getting bored of the job and not doing stuff she said she’d do. Now it’s going to be the man doing everything and does seem to be doing stuff he’s said so if anything it could be good thing.

Hi,

I understand your post - I am one of thecpeoplecwho feels less. But unexpectedly I sometimes feel a lot of emotion, usually in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's all an unpredictable jumble.
