    Most important thing friends and family is to realize you are injured in a bad way. Never say snap out of it or get over it... Trust me if we could, we would.

    I suffer from a brain injury and most of this is exactly how I feel and wish I could share this with family and friends. Thank you for this!

    Tears falling down my cheeks.
    So true.
    So sad.
    So very alone.

      i watch the storm cloud video whenever i feel alone and need to hear someone else express the things that im feeling.
      When he says to "im trying hard to accept the old me isn't coming back" i weep...every. single. time.

    The first story could be me, except I only get angry at myself, not others, and I haven't reached the end part yet. I'm only 5 months in to this horrible place. Other than those two things, he sums up what I'm living as if he knew me personally. I look the same now except I still have a couple scars and my face is a little out of normal shape. This has been a living nightmare and I wish I could just wake up. 😢

      Barbara- I can offer hope for you today.
      I am healing. Almost 4 years since my injury, but I have begun the process of getting a very new treatment and science backed treatment for healing brain issues.
      I am just in the beginning. I have only done the first 3 of 12 week protocol. I feel it is working already. I finally feel hopeful!
      If my TBI is significantly healed, and I have my energy, concentration, and abilities restored, I am going to be a fierce advocate for our tribe of TBI affected people.
      Patience.
      You feel alone, but there are lots of us carrying umbrellas.
      Easy does it.. one day at a time.

    I went to a TBI convention a little over a week ago and it actually gave me an attitude of gratitude!!... I saw TBI survivors much more limited and challelged than I am.. some cannot drive and some cannot even walk or talk!!
