They are the nicest people I know but they do not have mTBI, they have serious damage.

They are both the nicest people you will ever meet. Never mad at anyone and both very very smart. One is still a biologist! The other was a gifted musician but cannot anymore.

I told the one but not the other. The one (musician) is so empathetic and kind that he does support me even thought I "just have Mtbi or concussion". The other would but I agree.....keep it to myself is best in most cases.

Of course, I do know other people with brain injuries who have not come around like these two. So it is just scary all around because you just don't know . And till they finish brain mapping project, they won't know. If fact, that may not even help because each brain is different.

THanks for the reply and support.
^ I've known a couple people w/ TBI, one who isn't w/ us anymore. [not cause of that by the way] and the other I don't have big deep conversations w/ so. I don't fully relate to that part.

But. For me. on FB anyway when I go through something difficult [which I do a lot. I have depression so] um. and I post something like 'i need your help' usually not many people actually.comment on that. And that's why I'm hesitant to hit up any friend of mine and tell them about.this. So for me. yeah other then on here and in my blog I'm keeping it to myself for now.
