This video hits so very close to home for me. I was a maritime captain for about 50 years before my three TIA's. I had iron control of my emotions, before the last one. Didn't let myself cry or grieve even when my mother, and first wife died. Since the last TIA, I have little to no control of emotions. I will break down crying over the smallest, most insignificant things. It has seemed to ease off some as time goes on, but I still never know when, or what will make me crack.
this was an excellent interview. he nailed it. you will never be who you were and that is a dfficult pill to swallow. at 65, i cannot reinvent myself. i guess i have surrendered to the idea of recovering one loss at a time,.. realistically.
I really agree with him. I started to feel really depressed after 2 years and then I hired a PI and found my wife was cheating on me and did not tell my 9 and 5 year old. She openly cheated in front of me and said she did not care about me all that makes her happy is what counts. She said she does not care about what other people think as long as she is happy. I realize then I married a narcissist for 16 year 16 years. My depression is getting substantially worse now that we got Divorced and she is pregnant with her boyfriend's baby. Her boyfriend dumped her and now she is trying to get a lot of child support and money from our homes from me. I bought our homes before we were married but the state of Florida does not care. Even with my prenump agreement.
that is a horrible circumstance....i am in north florida and i lost my husband 15 years ago. i have to have paid help. my family lives in souyh florida and it is too far for them to drive to see me. they were never supportive so no loss there. the isolation is the worst..it is like living in a different world than the healthy/non-stroke folks. i wish you well and the healing of your heart!
I agree with the Grieving process and things you go through emotionally. Buuuut, you can recover the brain. Look into Dr, Caroline Leaf! It’s amazing what new sciences are being found, and it starts with the right neuroscientist.
I asked questions why no one was or is assigned to me for my mental health following the stroke. Initially I was left in a room. except for the time spent at physical therapy by myself. I was released home once again myself, except for those hours that I was given therapy. It has been 10 months, and I am now walking ,talking ,driving and returned to work. While I am there much of my responsibilities have been removed. I am simply a statue in the room. Yet mental health has not been addressed following the stroke.
Hello my name is isaac, and I have a girlfriend that I have been with for 3 months. She experienced 6 strokes with the last decade before we even met. Since I have known her, I recognize that she is really irritable. She told me that she has always had a short temper, but I have recognized that it has gotten worse and I'm struggling trying to communicate with her. She has a very high tolerance for when it comes to trying to explain myself in any situation. I love her to pieces, it's just I dont know what to do but to keep my peace, pray, and have show the love and understanding that I've been showing. If anyone gets to read this amd they know what I'm going through, please get back with me.
Hi Isaac, thank you for commenting. If you are in the UK we have a freephone advice line that you can call if you would like to talk to someone: 0808 801 0899
Yes, I do. I am at my wits end. It is tearing our family apart and my mothers refusal for medical or mental health is draining us all. I hope things get better for you.
This all happened to me. It was made worse by my department chair, who pushed me so hard afterward that I nearly died. So now I’m grieving all over again.
Yes he is right but also I think one's emotional faculty is altered by th injury and controlling iris a near impossible. I got a stroke some 3 months ago and I still cry not necessarily of what I have lost but for unexplained reason. For example, a while ago I just told my son to take care of himself and I busted into crying. Very embarrassing
So my Gran mother was psychotic delusional etc . Like severe After stroke she had been within normal range generally mentally physically etc ... Mood consistent.... So yea interesting. Her over all health and circumstances actually got better after stroke even with physical limitations Wish they could replicate with our damage to body etc ... For my uncle... Every two years loses it for about 9 months ... I have extreme pmdd borderline Mom bipolar... Bad pms Sister generalized anxiety Aunt's both alcoholics Uncle schizophrenia // affective disorder wish I could do ect or something ... Between hormones reactivity automatic maladaptive responses... Can't stop treading water . So yea dk why I felt to share but yea
