How would I go about getting a case manager?

Do you mean for like Welfare or SSI?

I have a history of drug abuse. At least 5 years of pretty much constant drug use. So, not only am I recovering from brain trauma...I'm recovering from a lengthy run with drugs. It sucks...if I knew this was going to happen to me, I would have never picked up the habit. Its a good thing it happened 4 and a half years after quitting drugs or I'd probably be a complete vegetable right now.

I'm still shocked that there is people out there that are living with half a brain. That's amazing to me. I wonder how they function and get by in life. I'm suffering with just some damage to my left frontal lobe...its torture. I could only imagine what those people are going through.

Before this week, I was functioning at still a pretty low level but I felt I'd still be able to hold down a relationship. Right now, I feel as if I'm going to die alone because I've lost my ability to work my magic with the ladies. I'll never find someone that would wanna be with me like this.

Oh, BTW, if its not one thing, its another. Yesterday my mom got news that we were being evicted. We have to be out by the end of this month...because of something my sister's boyfriend did in the apartment complex. Wonderful. Just what I need right now...the stress of moving.

I'm wondering if laying in bed all day is helping me at all. I understand that I need rest...so I'm resting, but its not making me feel any better. Is there something else I should be doing? Should I download some brain training games to start re-routing my brain? I'm just scared to do anything...you know, before this week I really went for it. I tried to get back out there and live my life. I was punished with worse than I've ever been cognitive functions ...that haven't got any better in a week.

I just want to crawl under my blanket into the fetal position and just die.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
