Yeah i know what you mean, although i didnt lose much of my life after having a brain injury things still suck A LOT.
I didnt do much to begin with because i was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the beginning of march of last year. Forcing me to stay home until i came out of a flare-up so i could get a job. Then i decided stepping on a metal gardening rake and hitting myself in the face would be a good idea
I'd imagine that it really must suck going from being that athletic and playing soccer for years, then turn around and barely being able to hold a conversation with someone..
Things will get better though, positive thinking is the key (=
i hope things get better for you, for everyone suffering from a brain injury.
