Hi yannimac :wavehello:

I was around here & in a worldwide chatroom regularly a couple of years ago as well. I do remember you

I also struggled with my emotions ~ which I think is really common for those with mild TBI's ~ and developed major depression, requiring a lot of work and medications before easing. During the major depression, I stepped back completely from TBI boards and chatrooms. I recently began coming in here again, very occasionally.

I can share my personal experience with some people ~ those who I can relate to, on a deeper level. But I also have to step back a bit to maintain my personal health. It is so easy to immerse myself in online communities. And in doing so, I kind of "lose myself".

For me, there was no magical cure. It just took some time for me to realize that we all have limits. My limitations are lower, but I can still do things. I may take longer, and require new techniques to help my memory, but those techniques do help me.

Best wishes to you ~ hugs!!
Shez
