Have the partners of patients in icu noticed certain personality changes in them?
My wife has said I get annoyed quicker than I used to.
I was the same, it is two years in October since I left ICU and I know myself that I was snapping at people for very little reason. I am not so bad now but still have my moments. Perhaps this is what I will always be like now.
On the contary to what others have said, I am now less argumentative, quieter and shyer. I find being in public alone very hard and have lost a lot of confidence. I avoid confrontation and tend just just "let things go". I have found that my experience has led to me realising that things just "don't matter", and only concentrating on the big things.
Oh yes,what a change! It is very hard to try to come to terms with,and causes many a "Flare up ",I feel unsupported now,as my husband just says "Life is too short "
