    Yes that has been my problem for 2 years.I snap at the least little thing and I have been in trouble several times.I have been put in jail twice in two years for disorderly conduct.I have seizures constantly but,I've finally been medicated for that.My seizures have been the cause of the disturbances.While settling in and coming to,I'm really irate and angry at anybody around trying to mess with me.At first my psychologist diagnosed me with bi-polar which seems to be the catch all diagnosis.Then recently diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

    I did my research on that illness and wasn't too happy with what i found out about it.The wrong words can throw me off and I'll snap.Now I'm really angry because none of this was my fault and now I'm having to be supervised everday at everything that I do.Even when my kids are around.I would never harm a child,and I'm the kind of person that wouldn't harm a fly.But,I have fits of rage that are uncontrolable and I'm punished severelly with the outcome.

    I really need some help here in Tennessee medically but,I'm so far away from getting any!Does anyone have any suggestions on who to contact to get my foot in the door?I'm hurting and i have no money to pay for any treatment.I'm destitute(flat broke)and i don't exactly know what to do!Can someone please help and guide me in the right direction?

    Well no I see getting Mad or Angry as something you can only to yourself the person or people ya might get mad at are not affected in any way shape or form so I see it as only wasted effort since there is no valid reason to do that I don't get mad or angry at other folks course I can still be unhappy about any giving circumstance or situation but that to really doesn't accoplish anything either so fat dumb & happy works for me roflmao Looney Larry A/TBI Survivoring in the great North Wet

    Good Morning

      I still get pisssed at STUPID People. When I go shopping and the HIRED help has no idea of what I am talking about. Beleive me that doesn't help much. As a rule people enjoy dealing with me. I am cheery, out going and a hell of a lot of fun most days. The sad thing here is it can change in the blink of an eye. When I get started it as a rule goes down hill grom there. Is it better yes it is and most days I can handle life well.

    It is hard for me to say really considering I don't remember what I was like before the accident (I was only 3 when it happened) but after the accident I was angry all the time. I would attack my brother constantly, everytime I got frustrated (which was often). These days I have coped by just being apathetic towards everything. It takes a lot more to get to me, but when I am tired or sick, watch out, I bite. The side effect of the appathy is that I don't show much emotion at all. So I guess I overcompensated, and I still have flashes of anger when people are stupid. It is hard breaking out of my appathy, and it complicates my relationship with my fiance, but fortunately she understands as she is a TBI Survivor too.

    My days of recovering has improved a lot through the years of school I have been to.  I'm glad my time in these coarses have payed off.  Jan my wife is  feeling so much better since I've been through these coarses. I will always thank God for what he has done for me % who ever else might need it. If you are able to go through some kind of school please go. they can really help out. My wifes stress has changed has changed a lot for what I am able to do now. Thank you again Jesus for what you have done for me. Please go to a school if you need it, it will help. Take care you all out there trying to live again. CYA

    Well not as much of the things that used to upset me back when I was a teenager before my TBI do but when I do REALLY get upset about something I do find it more difficult to control.

    Yes I do get angrier than I used to, and it is really frustrating that I am unable to control that magic switch in my body to turn the anger on and off. However, now that I am 20+ years post TBI, I think that I have discovered ways and tricks to avoid being tempered. It does not work all the time, and that is really the worse thing. Anger, I believe, not even my short term memory problem, is the single most important obstacle which prevents me from living a full life.

    It has been almost 11 years since my head injury and I canhonedtly say that not only do I get angry faster but I get angry about things that are so unimportant. I realise how much my personality has changed and how many differences there are in the way I think now and the way I thought and acted then. I can't say that I am always pleasedI with the new me. There are times though that I can appreciate the way my brain wants to work ( I stand up for myself and my beliefs more) . Alot of my old friends (pre-head
