Hello world.

Hello Everyone,

I just thought i would introduce myself as this is a first time for me on here.

I suffered a traumatic brain injury nearly 4 years ago which left some pretty long lasting damage on my brain. I have spent the following years getting back to how i am now. I have always wanted to join somewhere like this but I found it pretty hard confidence wise.

The main reason why i am on here is hopefully to help anyone who might want someone to talk to because one thing i have learned is it really does help to have someone to either share a thought with or just to give them a little pick up :).

Anyway i am waffling as usual so i will look forward to making new friends on here

Thanks

So nice to meet you! I had a TBI 22 years ago. Often people tell everyone not to compare themselves others- but how about comparing yourself to what you were to where you are at now. Not so fun after a TBI or any life changing physical or mental illness. I look forward to learning more about you. Always wonderful to meet a new friend!

Hi there and welcome. Just thought I would mention that there is a specific

Site called ..... " HEADWAY ". It's specially for all types of brain injuries and

And I'm sure you would find lots of people to share experiences as well.

It's easy to find I. The Health Unlocked area. Sorry I don't have any experience

Of brain problems but I wish you very well,

Do you suffer from Depression as a result of your brain injury? I know we have one person here , Siobhan who had a brain injury and she is also in Headway.
