Anxiety is common to a lot of us. It can hit me in unusual ways such as going grocery shopping or other mundane daily activities.

Some things I have found helpful include meditation, gentle yoga, and massage therapy. Depending on where you live you may also be able to find a TBI support group which could be helpful. The BIAA website may have a link to a support group in your area.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
