Rant, which needs no replies.

Hi I just need to offload, feeling tired, stressed, brain fog, and lots more. I should have known it was going to be a bad day when I couldn't work out whether I had washed my hair or not in the shower, then which one of the bottles was conditioner, then back to had I washed my hair. ARRRRGGGG. I have been sitting in front of the laptop trying to do a letter and honestly you would think I had never seen one before, I can't work out how to do a blank page, write the letter, where everything goes, I go to do something and just stop because I don't know how. Feeling very tired so just going to chill for a while. I know the signs of fatigue but still after nearly 5 years don't heed them. Anyway feeling better now after telling you lot because no one outside of this site understands. No need for any replies as I know you lot get what I'm saying. So I've gone from hating the world and everyone

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 to this 🙂🙄🙂 now I've got it off my chest. Enjoy your day everyone, and if you want have a rant.

My symptoms, particularly the numbness in my brain, are making me want to scream today. Hate it so much. You’re right, no one understands.

I get it and what you describe is exactly what happens to me on a regular basis and is sooooooo frustrating 🤬 I've taken to putting Post It notes up in the bathroom reminding me to wash my conditioner out, check the hot water and there's even more in the kitchen! In fact they are all over my flat trying to keep me safe. Your post wasn't a rant, it was just an honest account of the serious frustration we can feel when trying to deal with everyday life so I'm sending you lots of compassion and reassuring you that we are all here for you and each other. Big hugs x

breathe!!! Smile?! …all of the above!! Have a survivable week-end to spite it all!!!!

I totally understand!!! And even notes, lists, alarms, post its don't do the job because if literally ANYTHING distracts me from my shower, etc, I forget then doubt and question myself. You're exactly right: no one outside this site fully understands. Im impressed you even thought to question if you'd washed your hair properly! I hope today is much, much better 🩵

I know how you feel, and it is so similar as to how I feel many times . There are bad days and not so bad days. With constant vertigo and no balance life is challenging but we all know that. I had two brain injuries , the first was 50 years ago and I could manage at first and my parents were wonderful as was the National Hospital. But as approach my 70th Birthday in July it just gets worse. I still have a life but I need two sticks to stop me falling and the most amazing wife who cares for me. Life is still worth living and I enjoy artwork.

Soooo familiar! That little fairy in your head...

You forget if you've washed your hair..."you're fine, just crack on!"

You're looking blankly at your laptop...."ah, you're fine, go get yourself a little latte then crack on!"

She convinces you that all is well right up until the point you have a mini meltdown because you can't find a sock.... and you realise there's no avoiding the fact that it's nap time!
