Hello Kat

Welcome. I do not have much more advice than what Mark has given you, but I wanted to offer some support. You have been through a great deal and seem to be doing really well for what you went through. Patience and reducing stress on yourself are the key to this, though I know it is easier said than done.

I can relate to losing things that you loved doing as a result of the accident. But please know that it does get better with time. It can be very long and slow, but it does get better. And we find new ways to live our life and new activities that give us joy. It has taken me a long time to realize all of this, and I still struggle with it some. But you have to keep going! You are doing great.

I have seen many therapists and some have a hard time understanding TBI. One that deals well with grief and loss may be helpful, as we have lost a lot from these injuries. Acupuncture also really helped me. You may look into some of those more holistic therapies.

Take care!
