I have major changes since the concussion I either get VERY ANGRY, or I get overwhelmed by the stress that I will get major depressed.My behavior was terrible since I also established PTSD from the accident and fighting with M.D.s, lawyers etc.I have to do a 3 step cognitive behavior therapy.
Now at all cost I try my best to stay FAR AWAY FROM TOXIC ,NEGATIVE, STRESSFUL PEOPLE. I have learned in my therapy techniques to help me and now I am getting better at walking away.I was the combat queen that had a war in my mind that could of landed me in very bad situations. This is another reason I grew to accept isolation in this lonely journey. I hope you the best!And maybe consider therapy to talk about stuff and get some help if you feel you might need it. ![]()

Thanks everyone!
I was actually confronted by my therapist about situations outside of my control. I don't know that I feel comfortable going back. I'm supposed to trust this person with all my emotions, thoughts, and my disability. I just don't think dr.s should vent on people recovering from a brain injury. Not sure what to do. I very much liked this Dr. Prior to this. I shut down with confrontation now. I don't remember the rest of the appt. I cried through the whole thing. ? Jace |
