Rob, what a fun surprise to stumble on this video. It was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your song with the world. Donna O'Donnell Figurski, author of Prisoners Without Bars: a caregiver's tale

The doctors office clock, drives me insane! Excellent job guys, very descriptive with the details.

A lot of truth to this... TBI... You only know it if you live it...

Awesome information. I read somewhere that anger’s other name is grief.

My favorite “have you seen my bra😂😂😂”

God bless encourager

I have heard of EMDR...

More model car building issues feeding my TBI anger.. UGH!!

Love this podcast❤❤❤ You guys are full of wisdom about living with brain injury.

I went from saying I don’t feel right to I don’t belong in this world anymore 🤟💚

Thank you for this conversation! I’m 2+ years out from my TBI and can relate so hard to all of this, especially the conversation about doctors not listening/prescribing meds that just double your symptoms. So frustrating, especially when you’re already low on energy and capacity! Looking forward to part 2!

Sometimes I am my own worst enemy as well....

I have been accused of using my TBI as a crutch....

I’m hoping you just keep improving. I’ve seen your channel and you do good work. I hope this video helps, even if in a small way.

Trying to manage a model that was supposed to be easy to build but is proven to be otherwise... UGH!!.. so PERFECT TIMING!!

found your content on facebook, your videos help me so much whenever I need a pick me up! my 3 TBIS were from drinking.. i'm an empath too.. and to become apathetic, yes that's something i've felt too.. loss of joy... wow you've gone to the other side.. I did too, with my first TBI.. I saw my body being taken away from a stretcher, it was if I was floating above.. a memory of mine that I know is from the beyond.. i'm sorry about your TBI experiences, however they have made you the person you are today, which is so motivating.. when you talk about dissociation and accountability on compassion, the rage, how it impacts your family.. i love how you surrendered.. you are resting.. i'm trying to do exactly the same with my current circumstances. i'm glad that you took the time off!

This is a great video. This is why I asked to join the support group, which is awesome. But, I would change the name to something like "this is my new daily life" or something better worded. I've shared this with a few family and friends and they all say they understand better now what I go thru. Thank you.

Although my experience as a caregiver is very different, I can relate to so much of this, including my son receiving treatment from Boston Children's Hospital.

TBI.... The invidible disability....

I don't do well with crowds either....

TBI.... You only know it if you live it....

I think there a few takeaways people can get from this. There are complexities. A lot of people assume brain injury means one thing, and that's "human vegetable". It's either that or it's not legit. It's probably not easy sharing personal details and challenges either because people judge. But I guess people judge everything, so who cares

Great podcast. Congratulations on your daughters successes..and yours. I like when you talked about being human because I'm pretty hard on myself when I get it wrong. Thank you.

First

Sometimes we need to step back and take a break from what we love. It’s ok to step away. What isn’t working right now could very well be a chance to branch out and do greater things. Don’t give up your dreams though. Take a break and allow yourself to heal. Down the road dive back in slowly and see what happens.

I am feeling it right now... I feel like I am not good at anything because I cannot build modek cars anymore... Sad😢...

Well I finally gave up on building model cars because of my TBI and I don't enjoy it anymore...😢 Sad...

May god be with you honey .May god heal you.Prayers for you 🙏.

Thank you brave warrior for sharing your story 🫂🧠❤️‍🩹🫂

Wow wonderful video. All the videos on your channel are fantastic. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.,................

I do suffer with bad balance really bad

Im so lucky i do not suffer head aches thank god i have an axinol diffused tbi

Hello. I am glad I found this channel. I too have an invisible TBI from Jan 13, 2022 when I fell on an icy work parking lot and bounced- so I hit my head twice. I understand the headaches....every...single....day. I have now been prescribed an injection once a month which seems to have helped a bit. Still very frequent, a little less sharp. Sick feeling head everyday anyway. Glad you shared. I will keep watching. Thanks.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a guest on your podcast, Rob. As you audience has any questions, please ask. You may do so in response to my comment. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. Craig

Lots and lots of truth spoken here!!

It took me 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys to FINALLY get my SSDI!!

My hobby of model car building,facilitating a TBI support group,and driving part time for a car dealership do help...

Always incude more and more of the cats for sure. I will never complain about seeing them in videos. I can imagine management of tasks, and goals is more complex with brain injuries. I also imagine it is unique with each individual. Shit, this stuff is hard enough without that part lol. Sometimes I am more motivated than other times for sure. Good stuff though, I look forward to seeing more and how these interviews evolve.

Where do you find your guests even out of country?

Sometimes I do easier kits to do to give my brain a rest and to work on my painting and building skills as well..

Sometimes if I just walk away and let the paints cure for an hour or two more often than not I am successful...

As it just so happens... The TBI support group I facilitate today meets... At a local Panera!!... Then off to the model shop for supplies so you can guess I have not given up the hobby!!... I believe the building is great for keeping my brain limber.. I actually picked up some kits at a show a week ago and actually are planning to start them today....

Just like the TBI support group I facilitate... We meet at Panera for breakfast once a month ..

TBI.. You only know it if you live it... I can relate to the mood swings and suicidal thoughts... I also have a lot to live for.. Family,friends,employment,TBI advocacy and my model car building hobby...I would miss the great feeling when I finish one of my models and it comes out well...

You look beautiful Jocelynn❤❤❤

This turned out awesome

My husband had a TBI on the 27th May 2022 whilst away on a break, he left the bedroom in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and instead of going to the onsite bathroom, he went out of the bedroom door and fell headlong down the steep stairs and hit his body and his head off the radiator, i rushed to his aid and found him hardly able to breath, knocked out, and bleeding all over the floor. He was taken to a hospital where they said he had multiple broken ribs, fractured skull, brain bleed, deflated lung etc and then was taken to a more local hospital to us, the ambulance crashed on the way. He then had a punctured lung as well, he was on life support with all the apparatus needed. They said he wouldn't live, he did, they said he would never be able to talk or walk, he does, his balance is not wonderful, he walks bent, he does talk but still gets his words mixed a little, he does read quite well but from the beginning i got him to read outload. Initially he was double incontinent and i couldn't have him home because of the stairs and the care he needed. He was in hospital for 6 months two different ones, then the next 18 months in care, now home in a bungalow. we had no help whatsoever from the UK NHS, refused brain rehabilitation 3 times. only i have really worked with him. . There is virtually nothing in the UK regarding Brain rehab, although recently are having talks with another survivor who is helping people now. I live in the far North East of England, and basically there is nothing here that i know of. I put a word out on facebook about setting up a support group but nothing so far, no one interested.

I struggle with impulse control and my "filter" too...

I struggle with the victim mentality sometimes...
