I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. It makes you wonder whether, as an intelligent person you will ever be as you once were.

I am not sure, how long it has been since your aneurysm rupture - you said last January, do you mean January 2011 or 2012? Either way, don't feel bad - the brain is very slow to heal, and two years seems to be the expected time until you reach 'full recovery' - having said that, many people seem to imrove long after two years.

So, to answer your question - although I didn't have a rupture, I did have a crantiotomy to clip my aneurysm, and I have MS which clouds the whole issue. I recall ordering my children (who were then 8 and 10 years old) to put their school bags in the fridge. I said some utterly ridiculous things, couldn't cope at all with light sound and movement (so shopping, movie theatres and carnivals were a nightmare).

As my recovery progressed, I remember having 'headache-less migraines and making absolutely no sense at all - to anyone.

Yes - depression became part of my life, but I knew for the sake of my husband and my kids that I needed to gain control and get past it - but it was HARD.

But, have faith - write lists - play word games - play memory games. It will hopefully happen though it may take some time. Keep a diary - you will be amazed at how powerful your brain and your recovery is. Just don't expect too much too fast.

Regards
