I find this weird...talking to; anyone? I know there are some here all the time. I don't know how to address .
Iam 3 mos after my "innocuous" whiplash injury. the pain has come back.
i still have periods of slurred speech, child-like voice speaking and worst of all this feeling of disconnection...
My family argue too much and i don't want to be around them...
they are mean sometimes and i haven't the energy to argue. I try to be nice and make everyone happy all the time. they are a bit moody and i ust don't have the enrgy. i want to run away...
I don't feel like i am coping anymore and i have no0ne to talk to. i have been on the verge of tears for a week...
I have been on ritalin for aDHD of anf on for 3 yrs. it helps a lot.
I feel if i didn't take it now I WOULD NNEVER WAKE UP..
i JUST fon't feel like myself anymore...
i know there's no cure as such...

It's very difficult to deal with too much emotional/family stress while dealing with a concussion. Do the best you can with them and take extra time to sleep and be quiet in your own room. that's what i would do. You'll make it through. Life has a way of presenting cycles. Good things are around the corner when you feel like things are bad.

Hang in there! It sounds like you're having a really rough time right now - I'm sooooo sorry.

I was reading your other posts and saw in August you had some good times. Hang on to that and KNOW you'll have more days where you feel better.

Have you checked into a local support group for brain injury survivors? You may find someone locally you can meet with that can help give you some of the face-to-face support it sounds like you're lacking.

Peace and grace to you...
Amy

seeing someone from headway in 2 wks..,
the worst thing is the isolation...
doctors don't seem to know understand...
with one neurologist suggesting my issues are all of a psychiatric nature, (seen a psychiatrist, who prescribes my ritalin for ADHD, he says "No way" as symptoms started immediately after accident) I am now loathe to discuss some of my weirder syptoms for fear of being labelled a nutjob...
I feel angry that this has happened to me, and more so that tthere is no foreseeable "end".
I feel like "this" is becoming "me"...

Ny daughter makes me laugh and says I wasn't all that normal to start with; which is funny, buts still...
Neeed to find out how to be positive again.... too emotional lately, is it the full moon?
