@@mathes656 yeah, we look fine... But 😐🙄😒😏

@@mathes656 five years past, it's terrible...
I've been diagnosed w/ TBI, CTE, Chronic Encephalomalacia, and Dementia. My fight is hard, multifaceted, and a 24/7 issue that I wish and have prayed for it to go away.
Broda how are you doing? What’s your symptoms like? Please be close too god, only God can heal you. I’ll pray for you, everything is gonna be good.
Prayers 🙏🏻
I was assaulted with a baseball bat 7 years ago. Was put in a medically induced coma. It's been a struggle ever since. My own kids have said its like Dad isn't all there... it's difficult!! Especially when your doctors have no experience with this...
I'm 60 years old.
At 10, I received a major tbi.
Back of my head.
I have had mood swings so bad at times, I literally, lock myself away.
50 years go by and not one doctor asked me about mood swings, temperament, anxiety, anger etc.
Ty for the video.
How is the depression?
I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury on 03/31/2018 and a crushed right shoulder. I've suffered multiple T. I. A.'s (14 last count) I have 47 lesions on my brain and multiple concussions after that from falls. I have herniated disc's in my spine that has now caused me to be incontinent. I will be 60 this year. All of my family and friends except my brother have totally disowned me. No one wants to talk about it. I am on an antidepressant but there are weeks at a time that I sleep all day, don't eat or keep up with my hygiene. I pray for those who have suffered like me because it is a living hell!
You are gonna be good, god is gonna heal you. I’ll pray for you
@@Flexpanthers Thank you so much! God Bless you 🙏
I feel the same but hopefully we'll get well 🙏🙏🙏
What do you recommend ? From morning to morning you know the futility of thought. It brings out fear, not a fear that is beneficial. But the only awareness is of loss. Loss of intimacy....of touch...and the greatest of thoes time.
I suffered a TBI back in 2018, and I started to feel depressed, 2 months after that. I also have it to this day. So, I can totally relate to this Video.
me too. I had a TBI back in high school- 1998.
Hi sister Rose how are you now please reply me
Just listening to this makes me weepy 😢
I've had a serious tbi I'm 12 years out now and it's never changed .... I also have had no help at all been alone since it's a rough road
Hi have you have depression please share your experiences
🙏
I'm a 25 1/2 year survivor of a TBI from an MVA at age 26... I'm on meds for depression as well as anxiety and PTSD and I'm in therapy and a TBI support group as well and will look into another dayhab service soon. .
I suffered a Tbi in the army from a parachute accident. I just feel lost in life. It’s been a struggle especially since when I got out the military the pandemic hit. Finances are hard to manage words get jumbled up. And I have to start all over from nothing is the worst part.
Doctors told me that the multiple blows to the head probably didn't cause depression or anxiety. Even though I never had any anxiety and depression before. Still dealing with the TBI
I had a car accident and suffered TBI. I tried to explain to my family but they were unsupportive and not willing to understand. I became so depressed, had mood swings and suffered trauma induced anxiety while naturally being an upbeat and positive individual before. Once I realized it was TBI I was able to heal better. You have to let it heal itself. It took years for me to gain my memory and heal. I am still healing but left with many broken relationships while suffering from TBI. All you can do is your best. 😔
🙏🙏
I feel understood in this video
I’m on my last legs, no memory just burning brain and eyes and ringing, looping dark thoughts it’s hell
4 years into my tbi. Family and friends don't understand, some left me because of the mood swings etc
It's the best amenities I've ever had from renting a place.

Oh! There is no such thing as normal and it should be removed from the dictionary.
How are you now
Me too
TAMMIE, HOW R U DOING NOW??
I was told that the fact that I had depression before the car accident, that it doesn't matter that I am more disabled, cannot file against person who hit me! I feel like my life is not as valuable as the tailgate on the truck I was in as a passenger. Every day I live in the twilight zone of a world with screwed up values and greed!
Thank you.
"Invisible disability"...I feel like I am an orphan.
I need help to get help.
I'm af the Florida neuro restorative Avalon park Orlando location, right now,in a two bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with kitchen with washer and dryer dishwasher too.
How'd it go??
Couple years ago I slipped on the road going down hill to work knocked myself out..woke up to a man's voice calling out to me asking if I was ok.
Year later almost the exact same spot I slipped again, same thing again but my cousin was with me
Neither of these times did I go get checked😏..after the first time I knew I felt different after
After the second time..I was afraid to leave the house..I was also very over weight when I fell ..
I'm wondering if that can be the same as other head injuries.. I had depression before..now I don't know how I'm still alive so many suicidal thoughts..walked away from my life..I'm down to nothing..my brother is helpful but for how long
I hit my head the other day. I feel off an electric skate board I completely forgot everything. I forgot I was riding the skateboard and what I did all day. I forgot my wife was pregnant. I don’t really remember anything after I hit my head. Things are coming back to me but I am feeling extremely sad for no reason

I need help i need help I'm not ok my daughter my family deserted me I'm not ok i have tbi traumatic brain injury from a accident I'm suicidal i need help i need help

Can a fractured skull cause depression? I had a bad head injury when I was a little boy and a very bad concussion.
I would think so
When you have white spots because of depression, can it heal when you are better?
Yes, I let my credit go to shit.... I no longer care about my personal life/things i once cared about... all I care about is my wife and kids' life... not my life.. since my TBI, I have no care about my personal life because I feel caring about myself is too much energy
when I went to get help for this, they sent me home saying it would pass. not great in hindsight.
Does anyone suffer PCS ➖Post Concussive Syndrome?
Define?
As this video points out, it's not uncommon to have depression after a brain injury. To learn more about the different types and causes of brain injury, this article is helpful: relevar.com/brain-injury-awareness-month/
I didn't realize any of this when I had 3 TBI's after I developed epilepsy, already injured from that I had 3 of them. It's 13 years later and all Dr and specialist did not realize this and took me down medications from hell. So here I am in November 16 2021 and the realization that my reactions where from the TBI. I use to think doctors were God's, now I this
But that things require money. Those professional consultations & those medications. That would increase the anxiety of those with less monetary capability...
I had a severe tbi and life’s good if your depressed try Xanax
I think I have this depression
How are you now?
