Hi,
I am over a year in with PCS and currently in outpatient rehabilitation. My psychologist is concerned about the lack of positive, supportive people in my life and I do agree with him as I currently have a troubled marriage and my parents can be negative and reactive to things although they are nice people. There's also just a lot of avoidance and not talking about the issues even when I try to engage them.

My question is, how do I go about finding friends? I am introverted and now I can't even drive myself anywhere and am easily overwhelmed. I have gone to a support group but it was too much oriented on recovered people and felt a lot like "I was supposed to die but now look at me" and really no one expected me to be hurt a lot so I can't relate and I never had a voice.

I have some old friends but have lost touch with all but one and honestly she has a ton of closer friends than she is to me. And I never see her. Then there's the more casual acquaintance type people I know. But I'm socially awkward. And even more now after the TBI and I can't shake all of this flat mood stuff. Plus I'm dizzy and have a headache and am tired and can't be anywhere crowded and get really confused easily and can talk funny.

So if anyone has suggestions on where or how an adult (33 yo) can meet new friends and find a new support circle please share. Personal experiences very much welcome. I need some help on what I want to be a positive new path for my life.

Thank you
