I just sent this to my new psychiatrist and all of my neurologists ( because I had two TBIs within five years). I’ve never heard anyone explain it so concisely. Thank you to everyone out there who is finally discussing this. I totally feel you and I’m starting TMS treatments at the end of the year. To everyone’s who’s up here because they or they have someone in their life please show some empathy and compassion. Half the time I hate living in my own skin.

My son's father had a head injury from a bad car accident too. He will be normal one second, then he will be jealous over me writing a comment on KZitem. U wish the normal him would stay, but, the Mr. Hyde is coming out more and more. I am in the "acceptance" stage of this, but the last 9 years I've been in the denial stage. It's getting too ridiculous and too draining to keep living on egg shells like this.

I am currently 41yrs old. When I was 3 ½ years old (was 6months from turning 4yrs old) the car I was in was hit by a drunk driver, drivers side to drivers side killing my dad on impact, my mom went through the windshield breaking her jaw, injuring her shoulder & back. The impact was like hitting a brick wall at 90mph.The sunroof caved in and sliced my head open causing a skull fracture & brain bleed in/to my left frontal lobe (not sure if it impacted other areas in the brain?). I was pronounced clinically dead ans was revived sometime after 5-7mins. I have 60 cross stitches (120 total) in my head to close my scalp. I was in a coma for a week, not expected to live. My mom said once I regained consciousness, that I was different & described me as a "fiery little thing." I do have motor skills deficients, tho they are not noticeable to others unless pointed out. Math is like a foreign language to me, I have tried, even with tutoring & still can't grasp things beyond basic math/algebra. Organization skills - what's that? I don't even know how to be organized & it drives my husband crazy, as wel as myself. I do have memory problems, but my biggest problem is my emotions. I have battled depression on/off since I can remember. Medications only work for a short time. My moods can vary throughout the day. My anger gets the best of me and I get mad over the slightest things. I also suffer from Aggression when I get really upset, I just want to break something or throw something. I speak before I think, which can be a big problem, too. And everything feels like it's the end of the world & I feel as if things won't get resolved. I've tried counseling, but I have yet to find anyone who can really help me. They have treated me just as a normal person without a brain injury. I wish more than anything I could be "normal" - which I know everyone is not the same, but to be without a TBI & dealing with the issues from it would be absolutely wonderful. I have found the older I have gotten, the WORSE things are getting. Idk if there's been studies done or whatever, but I'd love to participate in one. I just want help so I can function normally, but no idea how to go about doing it.

I'm very sorry for your struggles dealing with TBI. It's very difficult, painful. Dangerous situation to me, to deal with the anger aggression unpredictability of my husband mood's. I'm his 3rd wife and traumatized by him since the 2nd week of our marriage 7 years ago. It's like I'm his prey and punch bag for his abuse. He can be so mean. He lies, he is manipulative, he drinks, he is very aggressive. I am a very passive and extremely introverted person. Embarrassed and ashamed of my neighbors because of the scenes he constantly makes when something triggers his anger. He threatening me by saying to "watch my back" and I live in fear and feel like nobody understands what is to live with someone with TBI..by trying to help and love them but being treated so badly. My father was diagnosed bipolar in my early teen years. I understand how tough is to live with mental illness and loving ones mood swings. Very traumatic to all involved. I'm in a point in my life at 60 years old to leave my husband as my health is deteriorating because of the constant mental abuse, injustices and accusations he puts me through. I went to PTSD trauma counseling during this marriage because it's just too much to deal with and the gaslighting is constant. I went to support groups and prayers groups all by myself because he doesn't want any help. He pretends everything is normal and everything is my or other's people fault. He doesn't take responsibility for his own actions. I'm not able to put my being in this marriage situation any longer.

I wish I had seen this video a few months ago. Someone I met had a TBI and PTSD. They were extremely hard on their self and kept saying they were a terrible person. I honestly had no clue how to approach the situation, but I did (still do) care about them. I wanted to understand and they just didn’t have the words to explain it to me the way I needed to hear it so they pushed me away. I wish more people knew about this. I can’t begin to imagine how hard it must be constantly being misunderstood for something you had no say in.

People who were close to me before the injury accused me of having "impulsive" anger, but I've never had a moment where I felt my anger was out of whack with how I actually felt. And it was never a sudden burst of emotion, it was always triggered the same way it was before. I feel like this happens more because it's a realistic reaction to every day life living with a T.B.I. The tragedy of this is that people who don't have to live this way don't understand/care about what you're going through, they just want you to "fix" it because they think you're broken. So all they offer to you is "Get help" and then wash their hands of you. And they wonder why we get angry all the time 🙄🖕

I get told I’m over reacting. I’m not. I’m reacting differently then before the accident. It’s not over reaction it’s how my emotions feel at the time. But after I feel upset because it’s not how I would have reacted before the car accident. I used to be relaxed and patient and now 8 get so angry about stupid stuff. I cry a lot but not depressed. I can’t control my emotions like I used to. My emotions feel bigger I dint like it. I needed help for the first year just to recognise how I sounded. My emotions from my mouth didn’t match my feelings inside.
