I am sorry to hear of your separation due to your personality changes. I have undergone a personality change after a few of my concussions.

Besides dealing with doctors and such, there are a few online resources for you to check out. There is a video series on YouTube called "You Look Great." Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9Xso...ature=youtu.be It is 6 segments that take about an hour total.

There is also a great TBI Survival Guide at www.tbiguide.com It is 84 pages. You should print it out and highlight the symptoms that pertain to you. Then, let family read it to begin to understand.

Once you understand how your personality has changed, it is possible to over-come some of them, especially if you have others willing to help you and redirect you when you get triggered into a bad behavior.

Stay away from alcohol and caffeine.

Many of us use nutrition to help us heal and maintain a better perspective.

More on that in a later post.

My best to you.
