I have bad days, and when I feel a little better I feel incredibly frustrated from social isolation, not being able to mentally engage myself (can't read a book, for instance), just being at home where no one really gets me. Then, when I have bad days, I am in too much pain to feel the frustration. This is madness.

I cannot handle multiple people either, I notice that my comprehension and processing slow down and speech becomes more challenging.

Thanks everyone. I needed to hear your words.

I really went off on a very angry rampage yesterday. I don't know if it the head injury or I am just out of tolerance. I feel like everything is out of control, and I can't figure it out.

My main issue is problem solving...that used to be one of my best skills. Not so much anymore. I face a problem, and I don't know what to do with it. Then I feel every emotion all at once, and then I get angry.

I know I can't stand all of the comments, that I need to just be positive...or all of the other negative stuff that attempts to make me look like I am crazy.

I guess I just need to isolate myself more from everyone. I know I hurt my daughter very badly yesterday and I am sure she will not forgive me so quickly.

Something that may help. When you try to apologize to your daughter, be transparent. Tell her that you know you messed up. Tell her than messing up upsets yourself even more than it can upset her because you don't want to hurt her. Ask her to help you when you need a break. Give her permission to help take care of you. "Mom, you need to take a break. I can tell you are approaching your limit. " Tell her what she can do to help.

I think you can figure out how to take it from here. Kids rarely see their parents 'fall on their own sword.'

I've been there. It is a miserable place to be. We are here for you.

My daughter was born with a world wind of disabilities. I didn't give her the "oh you have an issue, so I will baby you" I let her know that anything she wanted to do, she could achieve, it just may take longer. She is a very smart girl, and she went to see the psychologist with me.

I almost think her and her dad don't know what to do with the information given to them. They are both used to me being on top of the game, and full force at everything. I almost feel like they test me to see if it is really true, that I do have something wrong with me.

I just feel very alone in this with my family. I feel like I am on the edge of a cliff, and they push and push....to see if I am really going to fall off

I get better then go back to where I don't wanna be...the way my mind is now that it's like I think ahead to like fun things like Christmas and I think that I will feel like this at Christmas and then I start thinking that I will deal with this forever...it sucks!!!
