I haven't dated in 4-5 years, though the TBI was a little over 2 years ago.

The chronic pain in the roof of my mouth- I've been waiting for it to miraculously vanish before trying. A regular income & place to live (not with the married couple with kids currently) would help as well.

Just curious what other single guys or women have done. Thanks.

I have been thinking about this a lot too. *edited*

Though my post is trying to look the humorous side, I do feel quite worried about the fact I'm not exactly a catch right now with the TBI symptoms, not to mention my financial hardship.

Hah! Its tough but I think I've accepted that the ship has sailed and I've missed the boat.

"Hi - Your cute - wanna come sit in a dark quiet room with me? We can talk about vitamins?" lol

The more I think about it the less likely it seems. You could argue I'm being pessimistic but if I was a woman - I wouldn't want to date me.

Unless you date another TBI survivor. Or a vampire. We could set up a website

A vampire could be cool - maybe in a "Let the right one in" kinda sense.

Are you still suffering other symptoms? Sensitivity to light and sound? Cognitive issues? Issues with busy loud places?

I feel like that is what is holding me back from a social life. Of course I don't know how bad the pain in your mouth is, Is it a burning? I was reading through the other neurotalk forums and came across burning mouth syndrome, there may be evidence that it relates to hypothyroidism. I dunno, I'm just trowing ideas out there. I know what its like to be lonely and stuck in a rut, so please forgive me if I'm coming across the wrong way.

How about joining a TBI support group? It can be a way to meet someone who understands. Often, families of the TBI person attend the meetings. They can be very understanding.

I have a friend with another health issue, he says he will try to find a date, but is prepared it will never happen...

Could sex cause another concussion!

I can only speak for myself here but the only support group available to me is this one - I live in the third world and support groups and stuff like that is just not there.

If I didn't have this website then I would have nobody really, my family seems to think I can just snap out of this whole thing with "positive affirmation" and have even gone so far to accuse me of Münchausen syndrome.

Black Text on a white screen keeps me going........
