Yup. rollercoastering as I call it is part of the struggles we have.

Ive used some coping strategies that I was taught in cognitive therapy, but they dont always work. I myself have horrible response control and no filter since this last injury. If something wants to come out, or wants to happen, its going to. I just need to try my best to step back and evaluate the situation slowly. Sometimes im able to, sometimes im not. If im completely overloaded by a situation, theres no control and whatever happens happens. If im in a calm, quiet enviornment and something like this comes up, I can usually keep my composure.

I cannot tell you the amount of times ive misintrepeted what someone has typed, or said simply because of processing issues. Ive had to do a lot of apologizing this past year simply because of it.

Its part of the injury, just try to be as self aware of it. The more you know, the easier it is to identify and cope with.
