The phrase "I don't know"
I can relate to this one! My catch all phrase has been "I don't know" because truly when asked a question I don't know! It's like my brain can't decide between all the options.
Decision making is a huge part of my job as a marketing manager so I sure hope this clears up at some point before I go back to work.
You're not alone! What helps me is asking my support people (husband) for their rational perspective whenever possible, for the "big" things that require decisions. The little things can wait. Or be done wrong or decided wrong, and the worst that can happen is that I'm wrong. Oh well.
Hope you were able to take a course of action that you were content with. I'm trying to learn to give myself permission to just get it wrong sometimes. After all my brain is injured, how can I expect to decide everything correctly?

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
