on going struggles

[Jpdee75]

Approaching 5yrs post tbi someone ruined my life for no reason in a cowardly sneak attack and my subsequent collision with concrete steps. I got no criminal compensation cause ambulance paramedics were told by people that knew the attacker and covered up by saying I fell down steps drunk. I was not of this world for a long time and not strong enough to fight these claims for even longer, C.I.D we’re just happy to apparently coerce me into saying yes I fell down steps, I was fresh out of coma was out of my mind and you could say body. Today I’m still in financial trouble and can’t even get pip but I refuse to let any of this beat me. I struggle with brain fog/focus ,memory, coordination issues, sight problems and all of which is worsened with fatigue by doing to much like working to claw myself out of financial difficulties. I’m still meditating everyday and doing a little bit of work trying to find a future that is better than today, maybe even find a partner but, I am losing faith in what’s possible i feel I’ve rolled up my sleeves and gritted my teeth everyday fighting this and still have not recovered enough to deal with my reality day to day. Has anyone got any insight or advice that might help me to forge ahead with hope or belief in better times?

welcome! The biggest struggle u ever faced? Are all going through the same!! The hardest part is to accept where we are, let go of the old, done. Develope the new better you & move forward. Lost many friends/family who saw the old me, unable to accept the new me! Spent 20+ years trying to hone my personality, make new friends. Closed day centres, used to volunteer there. If nothing else u learn how determined the new you can be. This place is great to rant/vent y frustrations, unseen friends who’ve been there!! Support each other, only thing I can suggest along this road is to SMILE to spite it?!! Keep safe n come chat as & when, take care! U not alone!!
