Is this apply to anoxic brain injury too? Please

The title of this video made me cry. I will never be like I was again. Ill never be the same. Phish - Driver is the best way to explain my days.

I lost alot of function. Difficulty with arousal, difficulty climaxing and no real sense of satisfaction after, yet I went hypersexual it later went lower, but does fluctuate. I'm figuring it out on my own, but god I wish there was more than the basic fact sheet info on it, on YT there are all these videos about how to do sex better, yet none of them have any information for we with brain injury. I have recovered some function, and thank god because it was so poor in the beginning. I'm just at a point where I want help, suggestions, info and there isn't any.

One counselor explained my TBI to my wife as “your husband is different like has come back from a war”. This is a significantly better analogy. This video will be a great help with my family. I feel like my family is waiting for me to be fixed, get better, manage my emotions, catchup quicker. It is more akin to speaking or hearing a different language. I don’t understand sarcasm, innuendo, hints, connections. I connect the dots so I can sit back and see the whole picture.

Thank you so much.

Do you do topics on developmental amnesia. I am now an adult, but have had lifelong memory and attention issues. I can not remember my life. I can remember facts only. I have very limited short term memory and working memory. I feel this is debilitating and has severly affected my life.

Thank you for sharing your story. I wonder whether one can have depression without the TBI? Can depression be caused by a different form of trauma way back in your childhood or infancy? I have a son who is now in his late 40s who broke his nose when he was about 2 y.o because he had broken the hooks on his high chair by constantly rocking in it until one day he did it too often and the chair flipped and he hit his nose on the table on his way down. This was aggravated by the fact that he had an awful cold at the time. The GP looked at him and said he'd be fine and probably break it several more times before he reached maturity. One can kill someone by punching them in a particular way and driving the nose into the brain. He never fitted in or progressed Academically and was diagnosed as having ADD and prescribed Ritalin but it made no difference to his academic achievements. I wouldn't call him depressed and he has never been unemployed and is held in high regard by all who know him. Finding the right treatment and therapy course for depression or ADD can be a very hit and miss affair. It took me years to find the right treatment and committing myself to a mental institution where every aspect of living with depression and awful medications were addressed satisfactorily. I did TA as well as CBT once I had been placed on less powerful medications and whilst I still take meds I am in charge of the meds and not vice versa. I learned not to listen to people who felt I could and should get off the meds. I have lived a normal life and never required any further therapy or hospitalisation and have had a normal and happy life. To anyone out there who is still battling to lead a normal life and feels nobody understands you and that society would be better off without you, I would say DON'T GIVE UP. You just haven't found the right combination of things to overcome the depression. There are different types of depression; endogenous, manic depressive and Reactive depression.

Their can use ADA. I have taken three colleges to Dept of education : office of Civil rights. I.have given lectures on how to use ADA in both workplace and in college.

Great job standing up for yourself 😊

Insomnia after traumatic event. Including nightmares and interrupted sleep.

Moderate TBI survivor here, i suffer from something like this where i now say inappropriate things to people without thinking, it never existed prior to injury. I was military and they kicked me out for saying inappropriate stuff to a person. Fully aware i have an inhibition problem and im working on it. However, what annoys me the most is that the military totally disregarded my TBI and the issues commonly related to TBIs and hit me with the full force of discipline discharge. The problem is, you dont fully know all the problems likely to occur from a TBI until after they happen!

9.5 years post-concussed and my mental health is getting worse. Is that a sign of things won’t ever get better?

You know your life is hard when yoyr therapist says, as a mentak health professional, its hard for me to say this, but the fact you can dissociate, distract, and avoid, is probably the best thing you can do for yourself until somthing changes.

I was in a blast in 2010. I have hearing damage, vestibular disorder and having serious memory problems. If using some mice can help fix me I’m ok with that.

I had already suffered a few concussions before I was 9, but it was the TBI that I suffered before I turned 11 that ended my promising Golf career. After that injury I could not focus or concentrate, two abilities that you really need if you desire to win at Golf. My injuries happened in the early 1970's when 'Walk it Off' was the cure for just about everything... I still deal with the effects today.

Hero Alert! Hero Alert! These 2 are full blown, American heroes.....Thank you!

does the army target kids without a strong sense of integrity? seems like people within paramilitary forces like the police and military almost always opt to follow orders instead of doing the compassionate thing.

Being in crowd is my hangup feels like they’re choking me. I’m very sensitive to lights.

I’m hoping to tell my story one day soon. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Thank you for sharing this information!! People are so misinformed and give up on their loved ones. My daughter suffered a TBI 13 years ago and she has continued to improve and I am so thankful she has the opportunity to enjoy life and love

In Philippines, getting a traumatic brain injury will conclude to death. Neurosurgeons are scarce.

I'm going to explain my trauma, i think it's very strange and I'm not sure what it is really... I would love an answer from someone and what they think. When I was really little, ages from 4-10 years old my dad took me to the park and I was afraid of rollercoasters, heights, fast things as most kids are. He took me to the park and I sat on the swing and he pushed me really fast on it and wouldn't stop even when I told him to stop and when I was crying, the wind coming into my face felt like I was hyperventilating and each time my body would swing forward on the swing really fast it felt like my soul left me and I was trying to breathe at the same time. Then I tried the trampoline, I was fine but I realised when I used to focus on moving things too much like the wind, my hair moving, dangly things on clothing, I had to stop jumping on the trampoline and felt the urge to take a breath and just relax and stop the things that were bothering me so much and making me feel a stressed way. Skip to my high school years, I always hated carrying a water bottle in my bag because I was "afraid" of the water moving and I never liked the sensation of the water moving (sometimes only, other times I can handle it and it won't affect me) it made me feel stressed and like my heart beating faster and adrenaline. I realised overtime in my young teenage years this behaviour of mine and I called it "the movement feeling" as moving things would make me feel stressed. Not all the time, not most of the time, but only very randomly sometimes. Sometimes I will feel when I'm going to get the movement feeling, all of a sudden I'll feel myself focusing on random objects or moving things that bother me, for example i can be in a gathering of people in a living room and I'd feel that same feeling... my heart beating a little more, myself getting more nervous and feeling uncomfortable... then I'd focus on the echoes of the voices in the room and the echoes making the water in the glass vibrate. All I want to do is get out the room and relax myself in a quiet... peaceful place until I have calmed down and I'm comfortable again. (It only happens sometimes, kind of rarely now) I am 19 years old now. A few months ago I went to the park with my man and I went on the swing (he knows about all of this movement feeling and supports me) I told him to go slow and push me slowly on the swing, it felt fine at first but then I said faster and the faster I felt adrenaline and that uncomfortable feeling again. It was sad because I just want to enjoy little things, like a swing. I still can, just not 100% comfortably. I can still enjoy things in life as I have tried my best to control myself over it and teach myself it's okay. Sometimes I've even tried purposely put myself through things that would trigger my movement feeling and purposely get myself feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable to maybe try to beat the feeling... It's a lot better now than what it used to be, but still the feeling lingers here and there randomly... what is this? Is there a real name for this?? How do I stop this? I've talked to my dad about it and my mum but they shrug it off and act like I'm crazy or as if it's not a big deal because they don't know how it feels and it sounds stupid. My biggest main triggers for this movement feeling as of now is the wind, water and my hair. Again, only barely sometimes, I've realised now that the feeling is a lot less intense than it was before, when it happens now I barely have a serious reaction or "episode" to it. I just feel a little nervous and stressed and uncomfortable that's all, makes me overthink too.

Give this man time, he will be our president!!!

I was 12 when I fall of a car and get frontal lobe injury. I didn't get any treatment because my family couldn't afford cuz am from third world country. In the school I was good in math and science, but everything messed up. I got short loss memy, I get angry quickly, quick decision maker, etc. Also my parents didn't treated me equal because they get divorced when I was 8. My father didn't take care of me and mother used to beat me up. It was horrible life. I'm now in USA. But thanks God I'm still alive.

I take it as a blessing

well now, that is truly depressing. Ive been dealing with neurofatigue for well over 10 years, since my severe TBI in 2014. It has never gotten better, Ive learned to adjust by dramatically limiting my day to day activities and doing the usual….sleep, naps, diet, exercise ect. The sad reality is that for a few of us, there is NO full recovery. Mind you I have made great strides over the last 10 years but my frustration with my inconsistent energy is brutal. It has affected virtually every aspect of my life.The other sad reality…..there are simply no realistic solutions, just a lot of little things that make your life a little better………but don't kid yourself, its really sucks
