I Can relate
I am in the same situation....If any of my friends EVEN text or call I do not have anything to talk about except what I am going threw....who wants to hear all this....in their eyes I'm being negative or they think I want sympathy.....I have all these things built up and when I do get a call I want to talk about it because I am screaming for help....those people can't help me or relate....they tell me I can control this and my mind!! REALLY? How? It's like a slap in the head again.....
I decided I need to stay away from them and conversation even because it makes me feel disappointed in myself....like I really need anymore disappointment!!! I am young and living like a elder as well...I have no direction yet because I am still waiting to get medical attention with a psychiatrist that knows TBI/PCS.....UGH
Nick I know the weekends are the worst for me....my health & body does not let me do anything I use to....I like the weekdays I have appointments with Physical Therapist & vestibular theraby....so I am wore out and feeling like I am taking a step in positive direction...All we can do is try to focus on the positives such as still being alive, faith in higher power,family, thankful for staying strong threw this struggle....anything that is a positive....we have to reverse these thoughts of negatives to positive to keep our heads up! If you know what I mean? It totally sucks I feel your pain because I am challenged by this loneliness and restricted lifestyle! I hope you find this helpful knowing that you are not alone
