After 16 years I am coping pretty good. I do get so tired sometimes which can be overwhelming and limits some of the things I want to do. But all things considered I feel I have made great progress over the years.
I'm doing awesome! I"m so used to my challenges that they are normal part of my everyday and don't really bother me. Except when my pain is out-of-control and there is help for it. I'm doing so much in my life because of my TBI and inspite of it. And I keep making great strides. LIfe is awesome! Carpe Diem!
35 years after my accident, and for the first time I am happy. It took me that long to realize I had a problem that was more than just a personal failure and that my brain injury had a lot to do with my problems. I am on medication for the deppression now and hope to get some help with the other symptoms once I get disability. I am engaged to a girl who also has a TBI and who understands me better than I understand myself sometimes. Life is not perfect, but it is pretty darn good, especially considering how bad it was before I started trying to get help.
I'm trying to figure out where to begin really. I'm okay right now I guess. For some reason, my mind has been slipping into neutral ALOT lately. Having cognitive issues. I'm new to this site, so it'll take some time to be able to navigate myself around it...be patient! :-)
