dear friend

it is so hard this brain injury, the lost of self the lost of job and all that go,s with that the confusion of day to day exsistance and the total lack of understanding to be high functioning pre injury, and loose that function is very hard to explain to anyone even brain injury expert's.

dose this sound like you what, do you mean you cant organize and you get overwhelmed, you can talk walk ect so you must be ok,, right !! don,t you care things are falling around my ears, (YES but I am powerless to stop it and the emotions I think I should feel are not there any more )

Well thats howI feel now days I live in the now but forget the now so just tumble along , and try to keep sane

when I got my test results it was hard to take that my brain was damaged but it explained a lot to me and those around me

the job the house the money the friends lost is hard, believe me I know , our home we managed to keep, but if we had not had kids I think that would have gone also

it was the help of a head injury group that kept us afloat and that is my advice to you

keep posting here you are not alone,, over 3 years on for me and we are still fighting, an ignorant system, but I have learned to laugh again and work round things

my best wishes
