Feel like a monster, i hate that part of me. My family avoid me, and im the head if house. Im ignored. That is exactly it, im different and the world is different. Its very scary. I eas hurt 1 week before lockdown. Im still hiding.

Wow, I needed to hear this today. Thank you!

There should be a 24 hour line for anger tantrums 😂

*deep sigh* lol Where were you in 1962? Car accident, damage to most of the left side of my head, woke up 3 fays later. The interesting part is that I didn't know about TBI until around 1996. Funny/interesting chat with a Psychologist around 2010, " That happened years ago, it's not relevant now." Was director of Brain Injury Assoc. of Alberta for two years and discovered that most Doctors were unaware of the prevalence of TBI and the long term effects. Good on you for bringing light to an invisible problem That few, within or outside of the affected community are aware of. God bless you my friend.

Great interview, keep up the good work on this channel, it covers a topic very few in youtube give attention to, your personal experience gives it a touch of magic. I'm currently learning more about tbi because my brother has it, we never saw any symptoms until he finished high school and all the psycological issues started showing up, that's when we started doing the testing, listening to you brings light to many things

I've been through hell this helped alot

The best thing I have heard in years. Thank you so much.

"A brain injury is the only time that we ask the injured part to regulate itself any other part like if you break your leg it"s your brain that helps you regulate how much you use that leg, if you pull a muscle its the brain that regulates that. But with a brain injury we are asking the other body part to do the heavy lifting and sometimes that doesn't always work." Also love the explanation and coining of the term "JUSTIFIABLE PARANOIA". I mean THAT!!! So true.

I received mine in 2020 I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. It punctured through my brain wall on my frontal low and I lost my orbital socket and temporal bone. I’m still trying to figure it out thank you for putting this content out there. I’m currently going through a divorce now I think she was not strong enough for me to recover and I find out the rest of society is in either we have to fight to stay with people

Good stuff. Try to increase the sound levels when recording if you can 👍

Vestibular Therapy for me was not good. I wosh my therapist warned me to not overdue it. I know you've had a podcast that said not to overdo it but I needed my therapist to not push me and know not to push me.

I just thought I was gettting old and having issues. It wasnt until this group helped me realize there is something more to it. I started researching and listening and asking. After a 3 week program for TBI PTSD at Brave in WI, I was able to realize that it is an issue that can be worked on and there is help out there if you want it. Realize that you wouldnt ask yourself or someone else to climb a ladder if their leg was in a cast, this TBI is an invisible cast but no less hindering. Thank you Todd for helping me and my wife get some answers.

Wow. You two are my people. I have had many of the issues you are talking about since my injury in January, 2022. I have used the term "untethered" to try and explain my dizziness and headaches and head aches. M y ears constantly ring... and yes, I am tired of talking about how I feel, explaining it, but at the same time it is all I can talk about. Unfortunately, I am dealing with anger now. I lost my father two weeks before my injury and my mother 6 months after my injury. New normal? Isn't it so confusing... Thank you for your podcast and your friendship.

I'm thriving at HASCI (Head and Spinal Cord Injury) in Greenville, South Carolina.

This has been the most informative video I’ve seen about TBI’s impact on sleep!!!! (And I’ve watched a lot, lol) You put words to things I’ve tried to explain to others about what’s happening. It’s so exhausting living with this mentally, and trying to explain it is even more so. Thank you for normalizing that in a way that those of us watching know we aren’t losing it. That they are common and valid experiences for TBI

I’m not certain but I have had extreme issues with emotional regulation. Extremely forgetful, I’ll misplace legal documents, or earbuds, or jewelry. This usually sends me into an adult temper tantrum. I’ve been diagnosed with ASD but never really identified with any element other than the rigid thinking. My father was very disregulated himself, and maybe 3 weeks to a month ago I found out he would beat me in my crib as a baby for crying. I would come home from his house covered in bruises. Very young, no memory. I do remember being over at his house for visits and him getting frustrated either at me, my brother, or his game and throwing us in the direction of his bed. Sometimes we’d land on the mattress, other times the backboard. I had to be told by my Brother who remembers it vividly, as I had blocked it out. My disregulation is dangerous to myself and others, and trying to keep a lid on it is my hardest battle, but one I fight for the people I love, and who are positive forces in my life. Between throwing things, screaming until I get these “swirlies” in my vision, and self cutting, it leaves me feeling so disgusted because I never even began to consider that my brain might have actually been damaged through it all. I refused to. I wanted to know I had full control but the truth is I don’t. I have yet to even begin to understand what’s actually happening chemically in my brain. I can’t be certain, as I’m unable to afford a brain scan, but this sounds a LOT like what’s happening. I can’t stop crying I don’t know If I feel relieved or afraid. It feels like hopelessness has taken the place of my shame.

Important that this is finally being acknowledged within the veteran community. Countless soldiers who were doing their jobs suffered greatly because the injuries weren't recognized or addressed. Hopefully they'll soon be able to access the proper healthcare needed to treat those service connected injuries.

He states the new eye tech determines metabolic disorders and he refers out of its mold, Lyme etc BUT a concussion is in and of itself a metabolic disorder

Does anyone feel nauseous at times? Hard to swallow as well?

Thank you for sharing this Important conversation. 👏👏👏 Awareness Eventually begets action and response. All Too Slow... for the 22 Veterans that took their Lives, EACH Day... before Their help Ever came... 🇺🇸🙏 May GOD be with America!

I have had two major brain injuries within months of each other. I have had so many issues that you describe. 😢 it is the worst experience ever. 2:00

Thanks for your dialogue. My messy had been a burden beyond understanding until recently being diagnosed with TBI from MVA....it took 3 years before any Dr would say concussion! I've been getting great help in Tucson, AZ from SPARCC and Arizona Vision Therapy Center. Dr Amy Thomas is guiding me through my journey. She and her team have been wonderful. Syntonic lense therapy has shifted things in my brain. Structural Energetic therapist has adjusted my C1...a most intimate process. Great relief and comfort in my neck and head. Still emotionally out of balance but working on coping techniques. It's probably too late to salvage the friendships and relationships I've shattered with my irritability and outbursts of rage, but now I know why I was "that way"....A part of my messy. Less lonely is still lonely. J

I was discharged from the Army in 2007 and for the past 17 I've just thought I was a terrible person who could never do anything right. It started out small; just little things. But then it seemed like things got harder and harder, and I got crazier and crazier. My inability to control my emotions and behaviors ruined my marriage and almost all my friendships. I developed unbelievably unmanageable addictions. All of my bills piled up and collection agencies began coming after me. Not because I had no money, but because I just couldn't keep track of anything executive. I'm basically unemployable. I found myself alone, disillusioned, and hopeless. I became suicidal. It was just this last Monday that I was admitted to the VA psychiatric hospital. It was there that I learned about TBI and how my head injury, which was basically ignored by the Army (ibuprofen and a week in sick bay), could be the root cause of all of this. I can't believe it took me this long to make that connection. I feel like I've lost an entire life. I don't even know what to think right now. They start my cognitive and neurological testing next week. Omg I hope that things get better.

It helps to know that others went through a similar journey post TBI. Great video, thank you. I hope everything is going well with you

I live in England the care here is terrible I was unconscious completely for 2 days fell on my head after falling out the loft. My friend was with me when it happened. It took 6 hrs for the Ambulance to come. I spent 48 hrs in A and E then they kicked me out the hospital. They said they had no beds . My friend took me home I was unconscious for 3 weeks. My neighbours looked after me I had no care from anyone from doctors or hospital. Deborah

I had my brain injury on the 1st June 2024 Deborah

So what is he’s recommendation if it’s microscopic in brain and neck?

Dizziness woozy heavy heads anxiety atf since jabs

Such an incredible young woman. God speed!

This is an eye opener. This girl ive been dating has had brain surgery, and does most of what you describe. I normally get a little upset with her, but now i know to give her patience and grace. Still annoying though lol

I’m glad you said that, I don’t want to upset people I want to be on my own but everyone keeps coming round. I feel like screaming at them. I don’t want to up set everyone. It’s only been 4 months since my fall . I get burnt out really fast and don’t like listening to small talk it’s so unimportant.

Wish I didn’t have to deal with this shit but here we are 6 years later

I asked this Q on many platforms... 15 years After brain injury, does anyone have extreme headache (brain pressure) but ONLY before weather change, change in atmospheric pressure?! And how did it resolve it? Without pain killers and without brain surgery.... PLEASE answer me, or ask anyone... Did testosterone or any other hormone therapy helped anyone that had EXTREME migranes but only when is weather change.... Of course a lot of others serious TBI symptoms are present, but surviving this "migranes" without pain killers is suicidal.... Help me please, any info is appreciate

I was in denial for 45 years after being run over and killed by a car at 4 years old. It wasn't until this year in April that I could even except that there was anything wrong with my brain. I was raised to believe that I was as smart and able as anyone else.

I think I need to talk to her

I sent a message to my mother after this with a link. So thank you

I didn't survive.. just co exit no One cares about you well majority of us are homeless and alone and more abused in every way.. didn't survive nothing

Thank you for this, these are so useful I am going through a lot of the videos from a while ago all at once.. one at a time 👍🏻

PLEASE READ. I am asking this question to see if anyone can relate to this feeling Hello if anyone who has/had Post concussion syndrome headaches constantly like your brain just feels off, like a throbbing pressure pounding in your head I really really want to believe it will resolve itself especially now that I have just started trying to go on walks and treatment for my neck but I’m very afraid this torture feeling will continue forever. Has anyone had these headaches before because they aren’t like ‘normal’ headaches.. no one would understand what it feels like unless you’ve experienced it Thanks for reading please comment if I’m not the only one, I just want to know I can heal this

I've had double vision for 45 years

My daughter got a concussion at rehearsal for her high school play. She fell backwards off the stage. The next day, she stage managed opening night.

Who treated your Dysautonomia?

I had my concussion March 2021. Was told same thing go home and rest! By er doctor. After that workman’s comp told be I could back to work! I couldn’t get out of bed without passing out. Worked for a hospital. They “couldn’t” hold my job by July. Lost job insurance pay. I still to this day haven’t gotten much help since that July. I always said it’s my eye and neck. So I just suffer . I wouldn’t wish this on anyone!💔

Thank you for creating and sharing this video, as Brain Injury can happen to Anyone, at Any time. Our Medical Professionals, Emergency Rooms, and GP's, must update their Awareness and Training, to recognize and properly treat Concussions at all levels. As well as establishing accessible Rehab facilities around the country. Those that have suffered from concussions, may be one of the best Resources to learn from.

This is so useful for Me to hear because I’m sure others can relate to how scary even existing can be with the symptoms especially with flare ups or bad days. I’m only 4 months in with My post concussion symndrome I hate my life like this and all I want to do is stay in bed and watch tv, it’s taking everything I have and more to just go on like 5-10min walks up and down my street every other day
