My first Fundraising efforts for Headway
I suffered a serious brain injury in March 2009. I was hit by a car while walking on the path home with my girlfriend (whos my wife now). I am 4 years down the line and no closer to getting compensation. I am married to the most incredible person i know and also have an amazing daughter, they

Parking rage
In the past 2 weeks I have twice got quite aggressive with people due to parking problems. I went out in the evening the Saturday before last (the first time in years, and I've been shattered ever since) to the theatre, I had a lovely time, went and collected my dog from my daughters as he doesn't

I don't want to give up.
I'm crying as I write this. I feel utterly rubbish, worthless and like giving up. The reason for feeling this way is spurred by a recent rejection from a guy I quite liked, but I think that the feelings were already there, and he's just confirmed what I already thought about myself. I don't have

Trying To HIde
It's been sometime since i've logged on to the site. I felt as though I was plunging too deeply into my disease, our disease. So I've been trying to hide from the reality of it all and carry on with work , home , etc. Problem is there is no hiding, none that helps anyway. Ignoring the facts

Worst day off my life.
5 months ago 2 of my children were involved in a road traffic accident. Both acquired head/brain injuries. MY daughter 9 suffered a fractured skull, and has left her struggling back at school, and my son now 11, is still waiting to have 2 large areas of his skull replaced. Both children air lifted

Can anyone who has had a TBI resulting in amnesia, explain to me how your memory came back?
My boyfriend had an accident, he doesn't appear to have regained his long term memory after 5 weeks. I would like to understand how memories return. Do they come as flashbacks, vague feelings of something past, little segments like a jigsaw? I am not allowed to see him, write to him or send him cards

Are your symtoms constant? Should we start calling brain injury a disease instead so that healthcare will start taking us more seriously?
Every doctor will tell you that your brain damage is permanent and unchanging, meaning you'll always have the same set of symptoms, if you had an IQ before of 120 and now after your injury it's 100, no amount of training will allow you to bridge that gap to your previous level. However, it's been my

Only 2 days left until the big test!
I think recently I posted a blog saying how I was facing my irrational fear of flying that developed with my anxiety...Friday is the big day! My way of facing it has been to forget that I am even going on a plane. I'm chopping that bit out and imagining myself in Amsterdam and all the things I'll

Enjoying the ride
Coping with anxiety is ultra weird because you would think you have control over your emotions but one day that just slips away. It's been about 4 months since I joined this site and ever since I've been feeling so much better. And most important in control, yes, I understand or try to understand

Is Senna gluten-free?
We've been invaded by threadworms! Apparently 4:10 kids have them. I chose the OTC anti-worm medicine that had the least number of ingredients. My son, who was diagnosed as a coeliac last year became very unwell after taking the medicine. He started vomiting and got diarrhoea and the ambulance had to

Are we still friends?
Hi all, I've read a number of posts by people who have a brain injury about the sadness of losing friends following their injury. I am the friend of B who has an ABI and I wanted to post about how it feels from my perspective. When B had her accident there was a flurry of activity amongst her friends

Feel so old!
Rant alert! This past week I've been feeling like a little old lady. There's so much I'm finding so hard to do at the moment, even just getting off the couch. I really don't know what to do with myself and I'm finding it hard to be my normal, chirpy self. I knew some days were going to be hard, I

Mind crowded out by irrational thoughts of death and illness
Seem to be obsessing about the above - no rational reason with no physical symptoms except the ones my anxiety are causing. This is driving me crazy - cant focus at work, feel isolated and alone, pending sense of doom. Going to see my GP tomorrow but not sure what to say - just want this madness to end

richard update
I have been a bit wary of writing this, I am afraid of jinxing the good, but since his last hospitalisation, despite having another 3 lots of anti biotics, he really seems to have steadied out. Hes no better, but he's certainly no worse, the nurse says she thinks he's plateaued. I dont know how long
