I love this ❤

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! I am this person! I work with tbi residents.. who they say can get no better., but daily I work with them when I have time!! I am the one who does these things and I get sooo excited when they learn something new! ❤

I married at 16, my husband was abusive to me. We were together for 3 years, 5 years altogether. The last two spent in disagreement on divorce still separated. I had no forwarning of the abuse it was snap case in happening. Blindsided with no associated reasoning. It was in 1988 the abuse started. It continued off and on thru 1995. I was diagnosed with ADHD, ANXIETY, PTSD, Depression. It seems the symptoms may overlap between the different acronyms. I am also applying for SSI/SSD. Have had extreme difficulties with debilitating fear of trusting social workers. Or any governmental agency worker. I lost my adult life to jumping through hoops with no conclusion in sight. It was horrifying. I'm at the result end of what happens psychologically to a parent who fights her entire young adult life with CPS. Perjured information both internal and external. Teachers and school counselors were told what to think of me simply by having CPS Involvement. In a decades time I had no founded allegations against me. Yet my rights were allegedly terminated? My youngest son who's 10 now was kidnapped out of my arms by his father at 7 months old and I never got him back because his paternal grandma is a retired CPS Supervisor and has financially exploited the situation. I fought CPS 10 years. My whole life I spent proving I was worthy of parenting my kids. I love them. I didn't win even though they had no case to present. It's destroyed me. I use to fight with all I had and was not bad at it either. But now my PTSD episodes prevent progress. It's heart breaking. I need to get help.

What is the republican’s plans for veterans with ptsd? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! They don’t believe ptsd is a real problem and that your only symptom is you can’t sleep at night. The republicans have no plans for you, no disability income, no insurance, no medications, no nothing. They are going to pretend that you do not exist. Just ask anyone with a MAGA hat what they think of ptsd.

I’m trying to heal a concussion..need info please ty

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

I have suffered 3 severe traumatic brain injuries at 16 am now 43 refractory comorbid . 10 minutes into this i felt tears welling up your perceptions and understanding of what losing a life and living on a stranger in the same body..... i wish you all the best and applaud your perspectives

I have hypoxia brain injury I died 26minutes spent weeks months in coma rehab hospital learning talk walk again doctors were switching machine off I wroke up it's a living nightmare fatigue headaches feeling low and lost but I'm a survivor and I will will never give up stay strong stay positive stay safe everyone takecare becareful sending luck hugs prayers love from headway Nottingham UK ❤ get post well done

I suffered 3 severe traumatic brain injuries at years 16o.ld. two on the left side front and m8ddle and 1 on the right side. Everything you have said is exactly correct apathy etc etcetera I am now in 4🎉3 refractory comorbid and the most seething tortuous pain isn't knowing I won't get better it's knowing another person lives in my head and body

the patients all love being destroyed by their doctors. they love it when their doctors eat their flesh and drink their blood. you are all beyond hope.

Good info I need help I’m in Iowa with severe tbi

What about non traumatic brain injury

Thank you for reminding me of just what my daughter goes through on a daily basis and how I can help-or hurt. She is 42 and had a frontal lobe brain injury at age 7. We spent many years going to survivor and caregiving meetings at our brain injury association. It easy to forget the things I learned Thank you especially for the examples.

Helpful to a survivor processing social life. Thank you!❤

I was attacked 25years ago woth a claw hammer by a very bad person who had a bad record he had got away with mirder and many other weapon related crimes and i was in the wrong place at the wrong time, the front of my skull was caved in quite badly above my eyebrow and now its starting to make sense as to how my behavior and way of thinking has been affected by it this is so helpful and i thank you for this

The frontal lobe, isnt that your habits? How can a person with TBI remember their addiction to fetenol but doesnt remember the incident which the injury occured?

Why is THC nor CBD in this treatment plan list?

Cultural Marxist trash

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!

Why do you say survivor?

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?

Hello, may I ask if a brain surgery could be considered brain injury?

9:32 🌻

Interesting! I'm 52 and struggle through life. TBI at the age of 21. Surprised to just now learn that the frontal lobe continues to develop into mid twenties. Wow! Adds more to my understanding!

I've done 8 1/2 years solitary as my doctor overruled ICU, drugged me to brief moments of memory recall to get me back then abandoned me on top of a remote hill in a caravan wreck where I fell asleep for 6 months. I could still ride my bike until they tried to fix it. Now its rotting like me. I survive on Ensure food powder in creek water. GCS 8 was called 15 so I'm denied help.

They 😢should

Something that’s seems minor like head bunting a soccer ball can permanently damage your brain

I'm 5 yrs in and I'm still experiencing a lot of this... they say time will help improve it but, seriously?! It's been 5 years! 🙄

Go Hawkeyes!

Are you a service I can contact for help ?

Honestly, people do not take their brain, seriously.

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.

Medications 💊 that help wit fatigue 😩 , other than amphetamines??

It’s curable, I have a Severe TBI and I have for 8 years? I get constant headaches and it eats into the membrane and my eyes and facial muscles? But? Aspirin and Sleep definitely work

Liar! I have a Severe TBI? Get nothing and I’d rather be dead

Unless you've been through it you really dont have any idea.

The iceberg picture is truth! Thank you for this!

If someone pulls your ponytail hard your head goes back, can this create the panic trauma attacks I don’t know if it’s the other forms of abuse, After a narcissist sociopath there is so much damage Can you offer recourse s or things to do to get help for this? Got the emotional changes physical? And calming the brain thoughts in California Threats antimidation fear that won’t stop even when they are gone.

Wondering if there is help for brain injuries abusers? I wonder how much of domestic violence is committed by brain injured people.

I find eating lean meats and following a no carb diet keeps the symptoms down a little, but I still can't do much. I get about 2 hours from 3 days.

i need an emailed certificate

thank you. very clear and concise.

If you really want to know what a brain injury does to your psychological condition just ask me. A prison without bars.
