Hi,

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time. It is a long haul through one step forward and a couple back.

It sounds like you could use some help. It is really important to have an advocate and someone who can give you perspective when you are feeling awful.

I am sure your family is more than happy to have you anyway and things will get better.

I know this just sounds like platitudes but I just wanted to say I hear your pain and just wanted to say I understand.

God Bless, I will be thinking and hoping for the best for you. Remember that it is normally to have bad days and feel really at your end. Rest but don't give up.

Hi Mark,

I understand. I can't fix anything for you, but I understand. There are many of us struggling. Rely on the support of your friends here, that get it, during dark times.

Wishing peace and comfort for you,

Jace

Hang in there. Sometimes we need to take it minute by minute. And then another minute. You will get through this. Wishing you much strength.

Hang in there!
 

Hi Mark,

Here's wishing you some peace.

I don't have answers either, but I do remember wondering why I could feel so horrible and tired and why I was alive.

See if gentle music helps. Classical music is very calming for me now. Nature sounds for real or on cd

Find any gentle thing that helps you relax.

Take care

I'm so sorry for your troubles. What has helped me is to focus on the moment by moment or day by day mentality. Nothing is forever. Truly.

Nausea is the worse- icing the neck, ginger/chamomile tea, and bubbly-seltzer water have helped.

Each day will bring changes-it's just hard to stay positive when you hit a rough patch.

Be kind to yourself---

thank you so much guys. it has been too many years and I just break sometimes but all of your comments mean something special to me and I want to say thank you. and I appreciate all of the comments. I just wonder why a head injury could affect almost every aspect of my body, digestion, muscles, etc crazy

Mark,

Reach out to us on those days. If you look at my past posts I've had those dark days too and it's these amazing people here that keep me from completely losing it.

Brain injuries are a unique cruelty.

Peace, Jace

Hey Mark,
I've been away for awhile. We are trying to figure out why my son keeps blacking out....but they can't find a reason why.

I can understand you are having a rough, painful time and being strong and brave for everyone seems very difficult to always maintain for everyone. As the mom, I can't feel yours or my son's pain, but I can feel the heartbreak and the sadness. I sometimes have to fake the everything is going to be fine attitude until I have the strength to actually believe it.

But you have an inner strength which I have seen in your posts and I have relied upon this strength. You have hit a rough patch, but you are STRONG and you can do this. Let me be her for you, just as you have been here for me. Together we can see this through.
