I've not damaged anything (but sure have wanted too lol)..I have also become intolerant of so much since my injury..I always LOVED having ALL of the kids around ( I have 3 and my BF has 3 and a granddaughter)...now, it drives me crazy...I attribute it to the noise, chatter, activity etc...when something feels overwhelming, I walk away. Always...I go hide. Not sure if it's the right thing, but I remove myself to protect myself and I really don't want to lash out at others...this seems to have helped me...it's not always feasible and I've been known to issue a verbal thrashing (ouch)...my family (THANK GOD) knows that it's not my personality, it's the injury talking...there is a huge difference between the two. There is no worse feeling than that anger/rage though...it scares me -_-
