Default Young Adults

Young adults are not only the most commonly affected by TBI, but also among those who are in for the roughest emotional ride. When you are 20 years old, you are still just establishing an identity. I have found this to be the scariest and most challenging thing. This injury has completely shaken my confidence and sense of self, in a stage of life when I need all the confidence I can get. Moving out for the first time and going to a University are not the easiest things to do with PCS. Class is a struggle, living situation is uncomfortable, and the worst thing is seeing all of the people your age having fun. It sucks feeling like I can't be my age because of this damn head injury. So frustrating. Any other young adults out there?
