Recently Diagnosed with Brain injuries

[Artistherapy]

Hi and good morning

I have had many blows to my head in my life and the equivalent to 2 full swings of a baseball bat. RTA's, fights, falls, assaults, etc.etc. In 2012 I was hit by a car whilst cycling and my life changed forever with my brain but also medically with skeletal injuries and mental health (PTSD).

I also have many other ailments to my body which further complicates things in my daily life. More and more of my life is being taken away from me but I am trying to regain a lot of these once more with many aids, help and my Art.

I find it so hard to accept the way my body is at 46 years of age as I used to be so fit and active even with Spinal and pelvic issues. Gradually I am accepting myself and fighting back. I just needed patience, pushes and advise, etc. from so many people to try and regain some normality out of it all.

The recent diagnosis of brain injuries is vilification (happiness which is sick) for something that I/we have been fighting for for so many years. I have changed in so many ways from the man I once was, however I had no idea!

I search and seek out help throughout all of this.

Seeking help is the biggest thing I can leave you with today. I was born in the era of man up and being a man and fought myself inside throughout my whole life and hid everything. Now I am finding solace in my demons and daily fights with the help from medical treatment. SEEK it, you will be amazed!!
