I feel like everybody is going to get sick of this shell of a person that I am. I can't work. I'm still not driving. My whole life is whatever happens in my house. I'm afraid that I've become boring and a nuisance. More trouble than I'm worth.
Superstition,
I know this frustration. I used to work full time and be very active in other things. I was the glue in the family. Now I feel I have little to offer. I feel boring. These are big worries for me. I don't know if it's my new friend paranoia (hate that guy) or if it's a normal stage to go through.
Your family needs to educate themselves. Dad should set an example for your son. But you should write down some clear statements and express your seriousness about what u feel.
I've come here during my darkest moments. These amazing brain injured people make me feel okay to be me. They have understood my jibberish when I'm overdone and probably shouldn't be typing, been my companions on lonely days, responded to my rants, helped me cope, strategize, and celebrate.
You are in the right place here for however you are feeling.
Peace and wellness,
Jace
