I have been through everything you describe, and more. I have been in pain for over 36 years. I do not know if I will ever be better. But I am still here. My faith in God and the Ways of His universe is sometimes the only thing that keeps me going. Some day all this suffering will make sense, for all of us. It is up to you to find whatever keeps you in the game, waiting for that day. You uierEecan take a lot more than you think.

Take care

Kenjhee,

Well, I guess you were right ...

I'm in the middle of a complete mental breakdown.

Thanks for the fair warning...and the kind words of encouragement.

I'm not really going to jump off a bridge, but I won't lie...Its crossed my mind.

Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
