I just have to really prep for each situation mentally, physically and spiritually. Slow down and become aware of what I am doing when I am doing it. I sewed curtains and made them 6 inches too short because I couldn't do all I was trying to do. It is frustrating but don't put yourself in dangerous situations.
That is the perfect description of my life too x

TBI and PCS symptoms all came about 3 weeks after an accident at work in February 2012 when I hit my head on the corner point of a metal barrier at brisk walking pace.

Life as I knew it came to a shuddering halt that day. 20 year history of depression and anxiety now coupled with memory issues, personality change, speech and communication problems, ringing ears, impulsivity etc etc etc.

Damaged people are dangerous.....they know they can survive!
