QoL: Booked in for some Respite Care
I have decided that it is vital that Jacqui, my wife and carer, gets some relief from me. It is not fair on her that she finds herself watching me during my every waking moment. So, I am booked in for 5 days of respite care at our local hospice, starting on February 13th. I will be carrying lots of

depression
after receiving my TBI and spending time in several hospitals and rehabilitation, there was a period of time when I felt really positive about the world and especially people. It wasn’t until many years later I read that this is a normal experience following brain injury. I don’t know how long it lasted

Hi everyone, After suffering a HA and then recently a TIA (all in the space of 12 months) then aswell as my health taking a bit of a pounding, my mental health has too. It’s a bit of a cliche, but us “blokes” tend to bottle everything up and suffer in silence which makes things a million times worse

Post brain injury hallucinations?
My son, following meningitis and a craniotomy last month, has informed me that he has started seeing a large black figure at the end of his bed whilst he is awake and it's making him fearful to sleep. He has been on anti seizure medication since the incident. So along with possible side effects of the

Hi. I was first put on anti depressants when I was 16, but when I was 19 I came off them. In 2023, unfortuantely multiple 'bad' things happened - I've dealt with grief of the passing of so many family members and I was put through sexual and physical abuse. I got EDMR for PSTD. I went through the

Never too late to seek help
Hi all, although I don't post very often, I still follow others progress and take reassurance when one of us hearties reports good results. I wanted to share the next chapter of my story and progress, following on from a Stemi heart attack back in Feb 22, which resulted in 7 stents fitted into 2 arteries

just releasing my thoughts not expecting answers. Thanks for listening.
I have a doctors appointment this morning by way of phone call. I think I’ve hidden my depression for so long that it feels as if I’ve opened a jack in the box. I released all the pain and guilt and anxiety and stress and my vulnerability into the world and now it’s exploded. I can’t put the lid back

A sober reminder
So in February I'll be coming up to 12 years free from alcohol, not even been tempted I hasten to add, but the legacy from drinking has left me with nerve damage, its a reminder to those of you who think that drinking doesn't impact your lives. I honestly thought when I stopped drinking my life would
