Hello everyone,
I’m a 40 year old male and at the age of five I suffered a traumatic brain that changed my life forever. At seven I was already thinking about suicide… anything to stop the cluster headaches, and end this depressing life! No one knew what was going on with me, I mean… I was too young to know either way. So I grew up not knowing anything…I didn’t know that being hyperactive, having a poor attention span, unable to sit still, bouncing off the walls, poor memory,Inhabitation, and even having erections all the time was wrong…didn’t every kid go through that? Apparently not…but hey, who knew!? The post concussion symptoms brought me regular spankings, being yelled at all the time, grounded, yelled at some more, emotionally abused, and even paddled in school... all for being different…tbi different. Well, It has been thirty five years now… and still the effects of that injury plague me today with short term memory and recall impairment (memory/recall ranked in the first percentile in 2008), sleep disorder (s) that keep me in a constant state of sleepiness, (it’s almost like I never fully regained consciousness after that injury… and of course the mental health issues that just downright sucks! …looking back now, has caused me to cry a few times for that five year old me , just wishing I could go back and hug him and say something…something that will make it all go away. Anyways, sorry this is so brief but my attention span is gone and if this doesn’t get posted now, it won’t ever… it’s an indecisive life. In short, I look forward to being part of this community and bringing something new to the table that can help others… Peace my friends |
