I was diagnosed at 13 with epelepsy after a baseball stopped my heart I seized my way back to life but after that I became a very talented musician
@Braxton Gary I'm glad to hear you became a talented musician! When I was 14, I got stuck by a line drive pitching softball resulting in a a TBI. I wish I was a talented musician! Peace
I you absolutely sure you have not always been a talented musician?
With all due respect....
What was death like?
@@mochi1186 I felt an out of body experience I seen the ambulance 🚑 drive up to the pitchers mound where I had stumbled too before passing out and I seen my dad and teammates hovered over my body while the paramedics worked on me. My dad said I had no heartbeat for at least three minutes next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital two days later. I have a heart problem and after many grand mal seizures 5-10 mins long, first one being after the ball struck my chest I now take 1500 mg of divaloprolex 3 times a day but other than good sleep no drugs or alcohol and try to be stress free as possible pretty normal life when they said things would never be the same also City Electrician still got a license

TBI and now have Epilepsy., but my intelligence, ideas and creativity skyrocketed, I look at things in such a different way, like when I look at a picture I can see multiple pictures with in it. And when I point it out people always say, how did I see it. I can see peoples aura. The list goes on and on. But, before my head injury there was nothing, now its like a door opened which has allowed me to see everything in such a different way, its so hard to explain how it's like.
Stay strong everyone stay safe keep going giving up isn't a option you got this wishing you all luck sending love from UK xxxxx

Love to you too
Ah love this. My personality changed so much but in a good way. I love who I am!
Hearing this means the world to me. About 2 years ago I did the knockout challenge above a concrete garage floor and fell face first Im 5'11 so you could Imagine but the funny thing is I blacked out before the impact so I didn't feel it and came to just fine even though I couldn't recognize my bestfriends face for a sec and after that I thought nothing of it. I went through some up phases and some down but it felt like the downs lasted a bit longer but the ups were more amazing than the harshness of the downs I started to recognize things within myself that weren't the same and started to get delusions that I hadn't came to and was still in a coma or that I wasn't alive or someshit but as time went on I overcame and realized worrying was all for not and that it wouldn't solve anything and just decided within myself to accept this reality but of course now Ik it actually reality crazy that I had to get evidence for a while that it was but the main reason I can remember doing it was because I was a dumb teenage pothead at the time and didn't think of the consequences of my actions,this was 2 years ago never saw any doctors or psychologists or anything one thing I can definitely say has changed is my short term its insanely horrible now it wasn't that great to begin with but now its nonexistent tbh I have to try and remmeber little shit,I'm now in a good point in my life and honestly wonder everyday how different would things be if I hadn't done the damn knockout fuck me and fuck the internet lol
Sorry its a lot your comment just touched me
Lucky you!!! I am not! 😏😐
That’s a beautiful thing. My husband completely went another direction and don’t recognizes me from one omens to the next. It’s been two years and I’m really struggling. Any advice. 20 years together. It’s been two years now.
Hell yeah man. I feel the same way except I’ve spent 8 years after highschool practicing going to bars sober, hanging with friends every other day after work, and socializing as much as I could. Studied psychology, kept a high standard of physical health and self care like meditation and stretching. it’s easy to be tight and breath incorrectly when your brain absorbs 30 different things in a room, that your not trying to process (and not able to process obviously). So within all the information ive tried taking in; such as emotionally connecting, reading body language, prioritizing focus, depression, anxiety, social cues, ect.... I almost feel like I’m better off with the injury. Happier, considering I’ve forced myself to relearn who I am in reality. To myself and the people around me.
My sister was convinced that I was an imposter. It was all very overwhelming but my reactions were as if sedated. There was no speech for six weeks+ and then a gradual re-learning. Who was I? What was I like? Eventually I remembered a chatty, friendly, giggly but rather withdrawn child (home situation). I suppose some of her is within my personality but speech has been the bane of my life. My spontaneous speech is 90% in a memory phrasebook. My comprehension is lagged by, say, a third of a sentence. It is tiring. Friends speak at a relaxed pace but my luxury is not having to speak. We adapt and this is me but it has been hard at times. Without a badge on people assume I am dense, rude or look down on them. It turns out my face is a little blank. People are lovely if they know but it is a gamble, so support groups are great.

We'll make it
You are a gift. I struggle with effects of TBI. This is not understood by my family.
I guess cuz I am not in a cast.
Nor am I not bald from chemo.
I'm sure they think I am using my TBI as a cop-out. Being validated by your videos means so much to me. Thank you.
My neighbors mother as a kid was in a severe car crash. Her personality was completely changed permanently. Before it happened she was kind of a mean person and felt she was better than everyone else. She became a soft spoken, friendly person afterwards and it was really scary as a kid to witness.
Same case even I was a mean selfish person prior my injury..
Now I'm a meek
I mean I guess that's better than being hostile or aggressive
My mom was an extremely toxic, mean person who thought she was better than others as well. She also became very sweet when she started having cognitive decline and got really sick and feeble. I really enjoyed being around her for once.😂
TBI in 2011. Unruptured brain aneurysm and a stroke on the OR table during the coiling procedure. No physical limitations other than severe exhaustion while healing. I had to relearn things like showering, laundry, dishes, etc, start to finish. The books "the brain that changes itself" and "my stroke of insight" helped me figure out what was happening and get back to some kind of normal. I miss who I was but at least I'm not dead ig. There isn't enough help out there for us. Yes, my life was saved and I'm grateful but it seems after saving your life, you're on your own. Some of us find our way, some don't.
I've suffered for 48 years. Can't find a doctor who has the knowledge to deal with me. Now that I've seen how easily doctors completely disregard Nuremberg, I'll never go to one again.
Y'all have Failed
It's changed me, I have anger issues everyday, everything he said I have these problems every day
I been dealing with it for over 25 years I was hit in the head with sharp pipe and it went threw my skull I was bleeding on the brain I was like 6 or 7 they said I wasn't suppose to remember anything
I can relate. I'm working on my cognitive behaviour therapy till now also doing meditation. Stay strong buddy 🤜🏻🤛🏻 and don't let negative thoughts work on you ✨🙏🏻
Keep going. It does get better. Writing down small goals, and I mean small, leads to a positive feedback cycle. This jay help memory recall and all sorts of positives. Keep going. It does get better. Slowly. Patience is the biggest virtue you can possess right now. And humility x
@XvX XvX sameeee
Hi how are you now?
Mental illness can be developed years after right? Not just right after the injury?
Being one with a brain injury for about 11 years, my personality hasn't changed much other than anxiety. I'm still short tempered and a bit of a dick. Still love the the stuff I did before riding my bike, playing my bass and I listen to the same music which my friends give me shit about now and then cause I don't like anything new which is kind of true. I don't like the shit they call music now days. And my brother always tells all you care about is your bike, yea that's the reason I'm walking again or really why I'm doing so well. My driving force when I was in rehab.

I didn't come here accidentally I was searching, and I found this video. Seven years ago, my life, my personality was better than most of the people around me and was stable financially, physically, and mentally. From mid of 2013, I realized that I am not the same person anymore I was trying to figure out what wrong am I doing that above three areas of my life is getting affected but I was unable to reach any conclusions.
After a very long time, I glanced that later I was using social media and watching porn and masturbating at an extreme degree.
Now I have reduced them to some level, but my health condition is not cooperating.
I face problems such as socializing with people and laziness, problems solving ability, talking to people, especially with women, I feel extreme pressure on the front side of my head when people are around me.
Most of my friends ask me what happened to you. I reply with a smile saying I don't know.
I need advice.
Bro I just knocked myself out doing a sideflip on concrete, everyone is like it’s fine but I’ve felt so weird all day and I’ve been tired and dizzy af plz help what do I do
I was hit on a motorcycle by a texting driver in a 4x4.
I used to have no anxiety, very calm, university educated, friendly, worked and earned good money, and always told throughout my adult life that people loved and admired the positivity of me just being me, full of life.
Then that person disappeared. Very aggressive, quick to anger, no work because my memory is so poor, crying a lot with no idea why. Uncontrollable hysterical crying. Felt like my life was worth nothing. I've been seemingly unable to look after myself, small things like just washing clothes, keeping my apartment clean, washing dishes, eating properly, money management has gone out of the window, I start arguments a lot and have no idea why.
Ny crash was a year ago, and I've only had anti depressants thrown at me.
I began microdosing psilocybin after a bittof research.... I have been brought to tears of happiness at how quick and effective it is.
I can not recommend e enough

Definitely personality changes depression anxiety depression
What’s wild for me is that I used to have Severe ptsd and anxiety untill I got kicked in the head by my horse and now I don’t even remember why I had ptsd and the symptoms went away
Same here, I feel damaged and it sounds bad but it’s true. I need something other than docs just wanting to throw antidepressants at me and not recognize the whole disease. Basically TBI. do you know if there’s a support group site?
Cherry that’s why it’s so crazy. I will still have occasional episodes that I don’t remember but I don’t have vivid memories of what caused my ptsd in the first place. I know what caused it but it seems more like something I watched from the outside that doesn’t directly effect me rather than something that actually happened to me. It was way different before the head injury. My doctor is stumped. It’s like a medical mystery for us right now.
In my case ptsd and blur vision too with anxiety and depression 🙏🏻
@@ositaxems8597 you so lucky
I suffered a TBI from a MVA at age 26... 25 years and I struggle with Anxiety, Depression and PTSD . I'm in meds for all of those so I can maintain my sanity ..
Everybody is saying it’s a negative thing I can tell you is been very positive for me I have a softer heart, I listen to people more I’m happier, I’m not as negative.I’m just excited that I am second chance at life, I broke my neck my back, ribs, my skull in two places. My memory is not as good, but the strange thing is I have more confidence. I was physically stronger 7 months later and I raced motorcycles again.

At 53yrs old & having many concussions & head injuries even as a child makes me wonder if this contributed to my SMI Diagnosis. Any feed back, advice or counsel is greatly appreciated.
When i was 3 yrs old i got brain injury at my back of my head (hit by 2 inches deep broken glass ),i dont know what part of my brain got damage and when i started pre-school and till i graduated college i got trouble in academic specially in analytical problem,..i know how it feel when we have this one in ourselves ,people can criticized us but never knew rhe story behind the troble i got, btw i act normal the problem is SLOWLY always lost in emotion.
Me too, but on right side of of backhead 3 deep marks. Actually they were iron blades of fan(one we use on ground) . And I have approx. 12 threads ( those which join to pieces of skin). But i don't have any problem in study instead I was among good ones. While lacking growth hormone as I do not grow as much. I am 5.8 but even this is achieved by rigrous exercises.
Hi Christopher De Castro how are you now please reply me I had brain injury I can't feel emotions feelings .
I too sufffered a tbi many years ago that required emergency brain surgery (7cm clot )(horse accident) then 8 years ago I was drug by a horse for several minutes (had a non lethal bleed, but don’t remember waking up that day) then I had a mule run off with me and although I had a helmet on, I don’t remember being found, being at the hospital or anything for a few days after. I recently went back to school at 44 years old and became an art teacher. I feel like my brain “got smarter” during my 3 years at school but now as a new teacher and during COVID stress, I am struggling all over again with time management, planning, and thought processing. I am about to try medication for ADHD for the first time in my life.
I was thrown from a colt I was breaking, and she put me in a coma. They told me I have severe TBI. I dont remember any of it. I was 15. I lost the ability to walk and talk. Im not sure which parts of my brain, controls those functions, but those wires, couldnt compute. Im 46 now, and I am getting terrible headaches, my memory is very bad, my moods are irradic, its just crazy.
Hi I had emergency brain surgery hydrocephalus cyst pressure my per surgery I had lots my emotions feelings I can't feel fully my feelings how was before .I do feel I am not same person anymore some issues gone better but still struggling with thinking concentration memory and also emotions please any one knows about this problem help me
Hello!! How are you?
@@faisalbi1330 How are you? Do you find help?
@@LucioSantosCarvalho hi thanks I am physically better but still same I can't feel feelings.i really want to feel myself once again.
Since being hit by a car and having serious fractures and spinal issues, I have also had focus hightened issues where things don't shut down I am exhausted from it I always had a good memory before this tbi and tai, plus cerivical injuries, but this had other people in my family noticing it much before it really started to drain me, by being very injured and needling to rest but searching so many scholar's sites on medical information, law, and history, the thing is I am remembering a lot of it in great detail, and can not stop the insatiable desire to know more my memory has become somewhat photograthic, and yet numerically that function has become jumbled, I was searching for a reason ad to why and information came up about acquired savant syndrome, and alot of the stories are saying much the same thing they are exhausted and want this hyper focused attention to everything to switch off , I feel this just can't be me that this is happening too
Fell out a car a month before my second birthday, been a anxious wreck all my life, all my doctor's don't seem to want to listen about the possible link between head injury and my nervousness, I'm 33 now and I still don't know how to sort this shit out. Arghhhhhhhhhh
Cognitive behavioural Therapy. I rate it! Should be taught in schools. Even UA-cam videos helped me. Take a look. 😎
Hello!! How are you ?
Am looking at this video because I have a really close family member who had a bad car accident and was in a coma for 3 weeks in 2012 he healed from it a year later the doctors discharge him from the hospital but he is a completely different person he is super angry and depressed I’ve never seen this before the accident and I want to help him but my family has given up what can I do to help him he’s extremely violent and suicidal
I'm so sorry to hear this! I think the best plan of action would be to talk to a trauma specialist and a neurologist. The brain changes in many ways after it's injured and these changes you mention are sadly not uncommon
It's to bad more people don't understand this.
Earlier Last year I was diagnosed with CANCER in 2019 and I have tried everything I could to heal myself, but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum about a herbalist preparing herbal medicines to cure everything type of diseases. including CANCER, at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted this herbalist through his email and he prepared me a herbal cure for CANCER and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. They gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured of this deadly disease within 5 months of use, I am now CANCER free, all thanks to Dr. PETER You can also contact this great herbalist for help by email: peteroare0@gmail.com or contact Dr. PETER through his whatsapp number: +2348161615389 He is also specialize in treating all kinds of diseases, VIRUS HERPES , HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES EPILEPSY AND MORE ...... He will also be of help to you
Nervous breakdown can cause brain injury to. Why isn't this talked about?
Are you serious right now? Is this fact? Wow our brains are fragile, absolutely pathetic. Cant' wait to toss this thing in the trash ugh. Well, if i get to live long enough to find a replacement.
Had a wake up stroke at 61. Feel like I am fading mentally, cotton wool brain. Had mental health issues like depersonalization
And depression before this. Feel detached from time and place and don't feel things like cabin fever. Help! Please.
I'm 32 long COVID has given me extreme changes to my memory, inhibition, and aspects of language control. I.E decibel, intonation, and "whining" I guess? I'm not supported but constantly insulted by my dearest loved ones who can actually help me if they would except I have changed it started as 12/2020 and has progressed to a bedridden state. My left pupil is always dilated and left is pin point. I'm so depressed I can't go on
Stay strong buddy..
I have bipolar disorder and traumatic brain injury you can imagine..
Survival on meds...it's hard..
Are you on meds of any kind? Please remember me and my family in your prayers ok if possible..I'll pray for you too
My family does help a a lot but are in denial. I just had a very bad EKG. They asked if I had a place maker or a defibrillator. My family is in denial and I understand but it's been so long, my brother will sometimes just yell at me because I need help with getting dressed, making simple meals, etc. I don't want to bad mouth then since the first post they apologized I could tell the sincerity. The only issue is still my mother says me and my brother are adults while he screams at me because I'm bedridden, I have bad arrhythmias and while being screamed at it's horrible I feel like I am about to have a heart attack, my mother won't ask or demand he stop and I'm at this mercy. My mother so the terror while getting a ECG, they put me in the front of the waiting list for a cardiologist, I'm in constant terror and just want my family who were so close to treat me with compassion they know how sick I am. I can't sleep at night because my whole body especially the left side is in agony, I can't get meds for that because I'm allergic to NSAIDS . I just want to have the relationship with my best friends my family go back to before I was so ill. I don't know why but the less I can do basic things like dressing, showering, making a meal. I just feel like I'm a burden and I am extremely upset my illness caused this deep seated dislike of me since I am at the mercy. I feel like they are angry I am in such bad shape. Something that breaks my heart is my brother has schizophrenia, he wouldn't live inside, I spent 7 years on the street while having a home. He needed to be protected, I finally got him to be prescribed meds that worked. I just feel betrayed, not like I was expecting anything in return but I don't understand why I am being abused my mom screams at me "there's nothing she can do" I just ask her to listen to me but that's her trigger, I keep asking if we can have a family plan, there's many evenings and nights I fear I won't wake up and end up alone in agony and fear IDK what happened to my extremely close family, everything was great for years until I got bedridden. I keep getting threatened to be put in a "care home". I know life is not fair but being 32 and I may not make it to 40. I had mild stroke since my first post, I collapsed in front of my family and they think it is not as serious although my right side of my face is drooping and I can't stop drooling from the right side of my mouth.
Thanks so much for the well wishes, I think my family will change their tune after I get to the cardiologist, get a ultrasound, and realize I have a serious arrhythmia, I have had arrhythmia before but this is different, the EKG I just took showed signs of afib.
Everyone stay safe, I'm heart broken when I see others like me or worse, no one deserves this, I wish the best for everyone.
@@Nancy-ow9wy I take Hypertension meds, a congestive heart failure, Klonopin, and methadone for the pain during the day, I am prescribed that med i also just started taking flomax for kidney issues I have. I think I will be prescribed warfarin after the cardiologist appt. I have symptoms of afib
@@Nancy-ow9wy sadly I have cought the newest COVID variant. I constantly cough up blood and can't take deep breaths, yawning is agonizing. I also found out I have internal bleeding in my kidney on the left and my stomach. Every day I am promised that I'll be taken to get help, but my mom's minium wage job, at Safeway is more important, she doesn't even make $15 per hour, she even punched my left kidney on the 27. All for asking about the hospital for me, blood is pouring out of my lungs.

I'm 66 but did some impulsive and regrettable things when young but I did get my noggin slammed a few times causing concussions. I got knocked out at least once by concussion.
I breathed in a toxin at work. This caused 'enormous' 24/7 headaches for 3 months. Now, I have double vision in both eyes...everytime I push or indeed stand for too long I get enormous left sided headaches, double vision gets worse, fatigue etc. My neurologist says my scans are ok but I simply can't push out of it. I spend most days seated. It's been over a year now. I'm so unhappy. Does anyone know what I should do?
Hello D,
I hate to tell you, but the actual answer is time. I was poisoned by toxic chemicals as well. Your brain needs time to correct itself from the damage. Not only does this take time, but you may experience really strange things you never expected. Shit goes a little crazy during the healing process, and back to normal can just go away….leaving a new normal. It’s been 30 years for me, and as my body goes through natural changes with age, the damage I incurred effects the natural aging process. There is no telling what you are about to experience…..I won’t lie…it’s going to be hard. Raven
When I was born it was very trmatic. I had the cord wrapped around my neck. I was blue and the doctor had to turn me inside my mother. I'm positive I have a brain injury. I had an MRI done and want the results read. My whole life has bea struggle I failed at school, jobs and I'm angry all the time! I have depression and anxiety. In school I was diagnosed with ADHD. I know it goes much deeper. I just want to know what's wrong with me?

trust me, there’s nothing wrong with you. if there was something wrong with you, you wouldn’t be here rn doing your day to day life. i felt like there was something wrong with me also, but the more i thought abt it, wtf is there wrong with me? nothing, nothing is wrong with you or me. i suggest scheduling an MRI just to make sure tho
Many years ago when i was little. You know. In the shower room at a swim hall. I were in the women’s room with my mom. I was like 3-4 years old. I feel of a bench and hit the back of my head. My mom screamed after my dad. She was scared. And I have a theory that as of that moment my personality changed. And maybe that’s why I’m bad at math. Idk. Maybe.. the way I act and who I am could not have happened if I hit my head back then. Idk. And it’s only here in current years I have improved in school. Both in English and in physics. It’s weird. I’m kinda sacred. Because sometimes I can have a hard time doing something I have been told and other times I can do it with ease.

Hi I am a victim of an attempted murder. 4 years ago Monday I was hit in the head with a ball pin Sledge hammer. I have actively been begging for help, but I live in Oklahoma, and have discovered that there are literally zero options for me here. There is only 1 neuropsychologist In the state and he denied my case because he refused to treat Medicare or medicaid patients. I have noone to help me relocate, I've pushed away everyone I've ever loved, and I'm just wanting to get help. I don't know what to do and am losing hope. Any advice?
Adam Trueblood - omg Adam! I am in Oklahoma too! I was hit by a car and had massive TBI and skull fractures. No doctor yet has helped me. I have got this far on my own pretty much. When i say i know your pain and struggles-i truly do 💜

Adam, by all means, get with the TBI group in Oklahoma City. You have my empathy and prayer. I survived a mass murder at age 7. Supposedly, Iowa is the best American state for a TBI patient to be. I hope you will be helped, and as I say, will pray for you.

@@Vitriol-Divergent hi have you had personality changed experience?
@@faisalbi1330 I have, but I'm not sure it's because of the injury just making my personality change to something else, randomly.
I feel it changed as a consequence of having to live with the myriad of symptoms a brain injury gives you.
Like people will say "wow, he never used to get so angry" or "he can't remember my birthday, he doesn't care about me!"
I'm angry a lot because I have double vision, walk off-balance and have a faulty memory. Like, my personality didn't change for some mysterious reason.
But ultimately I learned that it doesn't matter to most people WHAT the reason is, it just matters that you don't bother them with your pain. 🖕

The symptoms were heaviest for the first year and a half after, so almost 2 years now. But it did something weird to my everyday experience for almost a year. Head was a little bit in a fog, or felt like I was walking around in a dream. Kind of like that feeling when you first wake up and your head needs some time to adjust to being up and moving around. The greatest impact for me was mental health. Angry, easily annoyed and irritated, being organized, emotions. That's the tough thing about TBI or mental health in general. It's not obvious, so you look a little crazy at times, or dumb.
Sorry to hear about your friend.
I was told occupational therapists and speech pathologists can be helpful for TBI. I tried the occupational therapist, but I couldn't stick with the tasks. I also was diagnosed ADHD about 10 years before the accident.
Also my memory is shit. Which sucks as a parent. I've forgotten so much of my kids lives. Almost like it never happened.
@@imoutbye thank you for your response, that seems absolutely nightmare ish! My friend did say that he struggles with his mental health since the accident and said it's as if he's dying on the inside but didn't elaborate further. So your response has helped me understand alot more. You really articulate your experience well and you realize exactly how its effected you, so I have hope that things can improve for you in time. Please don't feel guilty for not being able to remember things prior to your accident too.. sending love from nz to wherever you are. 💬🤍
@@M_Kru "Dying inside". that too.
Not longer after I ended up divorced. As I had to explain to her, and a few people since, who sort of agree. Rob died in that accident. I changed. My personality changed. I became much less sympathetic and empathetic. Less warm. I hope and sometimes try to restore who I once was. But I see it as the death of Rob. And now there's me, this new guy.
Thank you for reaching out, and the love. Sending it back from Canada.
@@M_Kru I should mention. Suicidal thoughts are HEAVY, and frequent. Keep your friend close, give him love. Watch for red flags.
With depression comes a lack of interest in many things, including time/communication with friends and family. Or at least the mental energy to do so. I can't see if this is directly TBI, probably more depression. But I've learned depression and suicide or thoughts can become a thing with TBI. Hopefully he doesn't isolate himself.
Whatever he enjoys about life, if he needs that push to do those things, do it if you can. And can never go wrong with nature therapy. Hiking, fishing, canoeing, whatever. Some peace, with a good friend.

Earlier Last year I was diagnosed with CANCER in 2019 and I have tried everything I could to heal myself, but it was all to no avail, until I saw a post on a health forum about a herbalist preparing herbal medicines to cure everything type of diseases. including CANCER, at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted this herbalist through his email and he prepared me a herbal cure for CANCER and sent it to me via the delivery service of UPS from the company, when I received this herbal cure. They gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when I applied it according to the instructions I was totally cured of this deadly disease within 5 months of use, I am now CANCER free, all thanks to Dr. PETER You can also contact this great herbalist for help by email: peteroare0@gmail.com or contact Dr. PETER through his whatsapp number: +2348161615389 He is also specialize in treating all kinds of diseases, VIRUS HERPES , HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES EPILEPSY AND MORE ......

How insensitive! Don't compare personally before and after??? How on earth can they possibly do that??? Personality is EVERYTHING in relationships.
chill out, he's talking about factual stuff here...
I think he might mean that personality changes over time and as a result the personality should be compared directly before and after to increase the likelihood of getting an accurate deduction
My uncle had tbi in a car accident. The airbag didnt deploy. Knocked his forehead on front window. His personality did a 180. He turned into a complete narcisist, selfish, lazy, kleptomaniac asshole. He furiously refuses any form of cure (medicine to therapy)
I live with a TBI, and it makes me wish I had died in my accident
I completely get you.
Trauma, and trauma of the brain is hard to put into words if you haven't experienced it.
I've been able to live with mine, through support, effort on my part and in the knowledge I wasn't at fault, but now it's time to deal with this.
Please speak out to someone and just talk and be SELFISH. Selfishness was one of the tools I used to help me get through.
I believe you'll do it. By writing on here you've already taken the first step. Peace x
Same here
