    I have survived a frontal lobe collapse at 2 years old. That was not my fault yet the event created a Genetic Primary Psychopath therefore every woman i have attracted has been extremely high on the Psychopathy spectrum. I have dedicated 8500 hours in both Dark Triad Traits and tactics, and Psychology attempting to fix my issues yet i am still struggling in only a few aspects of cognition. So before I become insane I'm going to isolate myself to solitude and Celibate until I can fix the internal damage. Because I believe that friends or relationships are enemies that i have allowed to internally providing them with the opportunity to do the most damage to my core. So it's definitely not going to happen again because I'm not going to enable anyone else to desire my complete destruction.

    Learned helplessness can target a Mans instinct to assist or protect a woman with something important. also develops when women continuously ask for help with projects or goals and discard the other person that has agreed to help them yet they never make any progress on the goal while they always have a excuse to dismiss one person for another that destroys the progress that was made until the person walks out of their lives because they have no concept of reality

    First this was a great presentation and very informational! As a surviver of a TBI, it would also be great to see a presentation focused towards the person who has the TBI sharing ideas on ways to navigate the changes and strategies to implement. It's about building new roads. My occupational therapist described it to me best..."You used to drive home the same way everyday and knew it without even thinking but now you have to find a new way to drive home on unfamiliar roads not remembering your address". Majority of the information out there is focused solely on providing information to the family and/or medical field on "how to deal" with someone with a TBI. This can feel very belittling as the TBI survivor. It feels as if society doesn't think we can take on information and help ourselves also. There needs to be more information directed towards the TBI survivor. We're not all completely disabled but we are definitely damaged and have to work much harder to function. We have to return to normal life and work and function in normal society frankly without letting people know about our injury or they may judge and may not work with us having concern for our ability. I've experienced this so I keep it to myself. I'm 3.5 yrs in and still struggle everyday to do my job, remember things, memory in general, vision, balance, organization.. However, I continue to search for ways to grow because giving up is not an option. To anyone reading this that is a brain injury survivor, give yourself a break and be kind to yourself. Please know that you are an amazing and intelligent (yes intelligent) and worthy of a great life!

    OMG this could have been written about my son! Had car accident just under two years ago now. Had Bilateral subarachnoid haemorrhages, haemorrhagic contusions and subdural haemorrhage. Right sided mastoid air cells and petrous bone fracture. Pneumocephalus in the right temporal and posterior regions. His personality changed immediately after was so short tempered in hospital and just wanted to leave. He refused to get in air ambulance ( he was only unconscious for about 20 mins on road, got up and wanted to walk home but doctor spotted blood coming from right ear and said he didn't have capacity so police went with him. Left after 4 days but was brought back by police as doctor stated he still didn't have capacity. After 6 days he discharged himself after occupational therapist got him to make a cup of tea and said he had capacity! He went to same night to Birmingham 100 miles away by train stayed overnight and took a training test on large digger and passed. Went back to work after two weeks, which I had to beg him to stay off, driving 20 ton diggers! Just did not recognise he had anything other than a slight bang to the head and body grazed from hitting the road. Attended two neurorehabilitation appointments and said he was fine apart from tinnitus and weird sense of smell and taste. Started drinking alcohol, became depressed, got into fights,fell down ditch on horse, car crashes, literally had 10 additional concussions to his head since, same side. Two years on and spent 4 months on remand in prison for attacking one sister twice, violent aggressive verballing to other sister, three DUI and finally was sectioned in December 2023. Currently a voluntary patient in acute mental health ward as he has nowhere to live. Because he missed appointments at neuro and had appointments cancelled as was in prison neurorehabilitation discharged him! Now he's off alcohol and on meds that have stabilised his mood have had to beg his mental health psychiatrist to re refer him back to neuro as he has so many cognitive problems and his executive functions are shot, memory awful, expressive aphasia, mood swings, anger, aggression, everything you've mentioned, guy has been to hell and back and several suicide attempts. After 8 weeks on the ward apart from adding mirtazipine to venlafaxine he's had no other psychological help, they don't have psychologist on psych ward in UK. No alcohol counselling yet either. Our mental health and brain injury under NHS is atrocious! Any ideas?

    I am a survivor and am almost two years out from my fall on the ice here in New York state. This presentation offers a lot of coping mechanisms as well as providing a reminder to help in planning ahead for the chaos of the season - even those without a brain injury know the season is notorious for enticing people to overextend themselves in every way. I will be listening to this again so that I can try to make some decisions on my own limits and preplan some ways to handle interactions with people, This was a wonderful presentation. By the way, in regard to holiday traditions, I married into a family with the tradition of a Swedish meal on Christmas: Swedish meatballs, korv (a sausage with pork and beef), Swedish rye bread, brown beans, rioot beer, and dessert of rice pudding (with a whole almond in it for one person to "win") and a paper thin spice cookie called pepparkokkor -I don't think I spelled it right.

    My wife is having post TBI headaches at pain level 2-3 and sometimes higher with occasional stabbing or cutting pain randomly in head or body. These the result of fall down 15 steps and inter-crainial head bleed without any surgical intervention. Going to Concussion Treatment Center and MD has prescribed Nortriptyline, 10-30 MG at night and Tylenol or Exedrin Migraine during day. Both partially effective. Have heard of Amen Clinic s, where Tomography is used to determine blood flow to various parts of brain and alternatives to meds are used to heal the physical brain. Can you provide any feedback here? Our present doc at the Concussion Center is unfamiliar with Amen Clinics and said he wouldn't waste his money on it. However, according to Dr. Phil's podcasts, Dr. Amen has successfully treated over 300 NFL players who experienced concussions. Thank you. I found your presentation highly informative as to why there are post-TBI headaches. I realize you're not an MD, and any guidance or comments would not be considered medical advice.

    Yes, I have MCI, and it does look like I’m being selfish and self centered, but it’s just that I have a hard time functioning, and I need to put all of my mental energy into what I am doing and need to do. This takes up all or most of my mental and emotional energy. I don’t have a choice, because I have to be able to take care of myself. People misunderstand, but I can’t help that because I need to survive.

    It is 16 years since my TBI. I have chronic debilitating headaches. Last time I spoke to a neurologist, they say that they were most likely brain damage related. That's pretty much where I stand at the moment. I don't really know the details of the injury, other than there were subarachnoid bleeds. Also about 1/3 of my cranium is titanium.

    • @khajiithadwares2263
      @khajiithadwares2263 9 місяців тому

      Linear-sequencial thought is hindered - like speech, verbal-emotional response and willful planning --- forming new ideas, far-seeing, drawing, (occipital) visualizing and writing isn't as much. Pre-frontal lobe is a conductor of emotions, asigner of priority&meaning, higher faculties, planning, ordering/postponer of emotions, setting importance of action/green-lighting (inhibitor/interpreter role) - ; without it working memory and real-time transcription of emotion into words, tonal control, speech or action is truncated, aimless or unmotivated. [Not to speak for everyone, I've had frontal concussion at around 9, with tertiary ocular bleeding, a few weeks of having my eye sockets purple like a raccoon [fTBI@9;w/p-OrbitalHmrrhage] Seeing, visualization comes out of the occipital back field - the frontal is mostly preocuppied with setting your ideas or emotions in such a way (linearity/sequele) that they won't lead to dead ends. It also deals with finding meaning, cataloging emotions based on importance. Basically - we see the fault, we have the destination just like everyone else, we just can't get there without derailing, shutting-down or getting frustrated at the directions. The journey is foggy, the steps seem unstable; we still see and know the end-goal, but the fuel seem unreliable, with ease we lose the emotional momentum by driving back and forth instead of forward, given one direction the upmost priority.
