Tbi 2yrs on

[chaz3]

Brain injury constantly make you doubt your abilities and at any point your brain can make you impulsive or react a way you wouldn't of before.I believe may people are isolate themselves as a result of not having control of who they are now.

The process y going through, if like me.. y brain is rewiring, who else gets the chance to rid the bad bits & rebuild y character for a nicer person? May take a few years! In my case +10?!! My tbi I was in a coma for a month!! Am honest loads of crap before I improved. My early memory was I went a rattled the pearly gates, the guy I birdied the week before my accident was holding my two big sisters who’d died as babies. We’re keeping the guy with the keys away. Told me I had a job to do first? Spent ten years supporting mum through the demise of dad, then she developed alzimers/ dementia. Learnt to travel to see her on public transport!! Find my way around Croydon, am partially sighted as a result of tbi. Now still trying to learn to be social again!! A whole new challenge! Take care n be safe in the knowledge y have friends here!! Keep safe & please return to share y progress! Oh & a broad smile to spite the tbi helped me greatly!!

Yes I can believe this. My BI is congenital so I've always been the same. But certainly I suffer from extreme lack of confidence in myself.

yeah a very different and difficult new me at times . Although I do find it difficult around big groups especially I still keep going .. I don’t want the anxiety to win .. 😊 I find a quiet place in a family event to remove myself from yet another conversation where I can’t find the right words and that is so frustrating . I do a bit of socialising Then retreat as I did last time to where the young children where playing as their noise was a lot easier to deal with the adults talking all over the place so noise was horrible in a place that I’d got fed up trying to find words 😁 …. I just keep Going so the anxiety and the BI don’t win .. I am a very self driven person and luckily that remained .. but do what’s right for YOU if you want to socialise keep doing it as it will improve and if you don’t that is also all ok … You are your Best Friend 😊 look after You .. sue x

PS I also do agree with everything you said and I do feel the same .. I’m just stubborn and the long waffle is what I do 😁 .. and I’m sure I upset people along the way which I don’t want to do so always send an apology if I think I’ve said something wrong … and I do 🫤 sue x

I don't much like myself 6 years on from a Hypoxic brain injury following Sepsis - I may look, the same but there is so much I can't do and it's basic things writing with a pen, identify the money in my purse, being around noisy people but worse of all is that I can't filter any more and can be extremely rude to people. But others don't treat me my friends seem to see me as a charity case and my husband is just my carer with no intimacy anymore. I can honestly say I wish they didn't wake me up because I fell into unconsciousness and came out the other side so changed.
