I have said the same, it is like being born again, I am shocked to hear someone else say it. Life is so much harder now, but I believe I have become a more passionate person at the same time. All is not worse.
Focus on the positive ❤ I had an TBI from an accident. I did recognize who I was before. So I was stuck between who I was and who I am. I had to grieve the old self and let it go. I couldn't verbalize anything for years. I couldn't read anything, and process it in my brain. I had no organizational thought patterns. I lived in the NOW. Which taught me some pretty amazing lessons. Every brain injury is different.

Very inspiring!!! I suffered my TBI in a head on collision less than a mile from my home. I'm 66 years young and feel like I need to tell my story. I also suffered 8 broken ribs, monteggia fracture of my left arm, and severe burns on my right hand that required surgery to remove the joint and close the wound on my thumb. Still in recovery suffering from diplopia and learning about TBI. Forgetfulness, finding words, and extreme fatigue are my symptoms.
What an incredible achievement to be standing up there talking so eloquently. I’m so happy your recovery I know was not easy. But you are here, humble, full of gratitude & an amazing life ahead of you x I wish you the best.
I was roofied at a bar and 6'5 280 pound me passed out standing up. I hit my head off a curb and was unconscious for several hours.. when i woke up everything was different. Rage, depression and anxiety blew me away. I lost myself for along time and ended up getting heavy into drugs and drinking... Now i am sober and been so for three years but nothing is the same.. nothing. I cant keep a job or a relationship.. i have no friends anymore and cant seem to adapt to this new life.. it isnt easy. But I'm trying.
Anybody out there sharing information about brain injury is a hero . Thatnk you so much. I do the exact same thing where i pause and forget what im talking about. The harder you try to dig for it the farther away it gets. You just gotta sit down and breathe. Youre brave for getting up there
Learn from the young Thanks for your talk. I'm 43 years old. I have bipolar 2 disorder. I had a TBI last January. I hit my head when I was riding my bike. Depression has worsened due to post-concussion symptoms. It's good to hear you. See the good in the midst of the bad. Congratulations on your recovery and on your way of seeing life. I admire you
Depression can be a symptom of TBI as well. After my TBI I just assumed my depression was my new normal but it doesn’t have to be that way. Anti-depressants can really help. Talk to your health care provider and/or get connected with a personal counselor. How you feel matters.
Keep at it...I had 2 TBIs...a more serious one in 1994 and a second one in 2015...I'm glad you shared your story...it's important for people to see this...My re-birthday was 12/20/1994...
I can't imagine losing my long term memory! My short term memory was almost non-existent. I felt like Drew Barrymore in the movie 50 first dates and on bad days like the character 10 second Tom (his memory erased every 10 seconds). Definitely made starting life over a challenge. Having to relearn everything when you can't retain new information has made life a struggle for sure! I always thought of my accident as the day I died because the old me did die that day. It took me awhile to realize that I just began a new life that day. My slate was wiped clean and I had a new chance at life. Such a brilliant and hopeful perspective you shared. Loved your talk!❤❤❤
I am the closest to this gentleman as you can get. Was 2 weeks out from graduation in senior year and I rolled my car 4-5 times @146 n was the only person in my full car to be inj at all. Relearning to walk n talk @ ab 70-75% w each. Have what’s called spasticity in my right “affected” arm that was contracted (bent) in for the entirety of my 39 day coma n my right pupil was also fixed at full dilation for my whole coma which still remains dilated more than my left letting in too much light in distorting my vision. Biggest thing I’ve learned in the past 2.5 years since Sept 12, 2020 is that u can actually do anything u set ur mind to u j need to want it bad enough.
Any Disney peeps here who immediately thought this wonderful speaker looks like the perfect combination of Dylan and Cole Spouse !?! Thank you Ryan for this much needed inspiration and speech 💙
"Where would you start, if your past was erased? Which parts of yourself would you let go of?" This is such a powerful question! Thank you for sharing your experience and the life-altering lessons that you took away from your TBI! Having suffered a stroke at the age of 28 & having the mindset of a newborn - I relate to you on so many levels. We've all been new borns, we've all come into this world once - there aren't too many of us that get 2nd Birthdays and get to talk about it. Thank You! Thank you! Thank You! You are an inspiration!
Ryan, you’re a living Miracle & a Warrior. I too was 17Yrs & just a single Day before finals of Junior Yr. HS. Back in ‘94 & it will 30Yrs in June. I Was struck by a Car while on a bicycle. A paramedic witnessed the accident rt infront of him? Ordered me a helicopter to be flown to hospital. I had #2 seizures. Brain damage to 3sides? My lft arm went through Windshield and my body was covered in Roadrash! I Broke my leg also. In a Coma for 2wks. I had No feeding tube an lost 35lbs. I Was on a ventilator bc, of a bruised lung & My parents had me taken off! They refused to allow a trac to be inserted. 1wk after I was out of coma. I got transferred to an inpatient rehab a few states away. For 2Mo.s! Where I too had to learn to walk & talk too… Then I came Home for 6Mo.s of Out patient rehab? I too was on Home schooling for a few MO’s. I Grad HS on time w/class. An went to a Junior college. Grad a jr college in 3Yrs. Floated around 8Yrs doing diff jobs? Before, opening a landscaping biz w/friend… I did that for about 20yrs. I met my wife shortly after starting my biz? An have been blessed w/a Smart, beautiful, wonderful daughter that’s 13yrs. She starts HS nxt yr in Honors! We also are Homeowners for the last 8yrs. There is a Life after an Injury. It may be different? Ea. injury is like a Snowflake… No two are the Same! God Bless you, I am proud of your recovery! An Wish you the very BEST.
I had a TBI n broken left femur in a car accident in 1997. Had physical, recreational, occupational and speech therapy. And I'm scared of driving. Never got my license.
Normally I don’t comment on youtube, however this is different for me. I too got a TBI last year (20 years at the time), lost control of my left side entirely and couldn’t remember for days straight why I was in the hospital, I even fell out of bed 3 times bc I didn’t realize I couldn’t walk. I didn’t remember everything from a week before the accident, but however everything else was there, I couldn’t remember why I was in the hospital for longer than 5 min but I did know my social security number. I totally understand the help and the appreciation for the people who helped you while you were …. not able by far to take care of yourself. This was a year ago for me and people don’t notice anything; they are amazed by it. I too was so full of confidence to get better, and it happened (def not everybody, nobody I had seen in the centre where I leaved at the time for therapy was as good as I was within 2/3 weeks while they were there for months). My depression got cured since my accident, before I would never say with certainly that I was, after my accident I realized how depressed I was and have only felt like that once, a brief moment of 10 seconds. That’s when I knew my depression got fixed, because of my TBI. Life’s crazy, I went from dr’s saying I might not wake up (however they were NOT sure, they just didn’t know) to being happier than ever, even with the things I still notice. Taught me more than any therapist talking about depression, learned more about myself than I ever could.
I’m quite a fit and healthy 62 year old. I had a TBI back in March after an accident at my place of work. I was in intensive care in a coma for one week, in HDU for another week, and in hospital all together for six weeks. I’m left with sequencing memory problems, loss of smell, but sense a strange aroma when I breath out and intermittent exhaustion and a strange popping in my left ear, the side I fractured my skull. Other than that, I feel very lucky.
Thanks so much! A well wisher of mine once told me that our brain is like desktop PC because we choose what we want to show up on the screen and delete the one's that we do not need
Hey man I had a skateboarding accident at 16 which led to me having a TBI . I had to relearn how to do everything walk eat, and even use the bathroom. But I’m getting better from that accident I’m 20 right now and my birthday was last month.
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉 My Tbi was at 19. I had to relearn everything as well after being in a coma for a week. I’ve been told that although it may slow down, recovery never ends. Keep going 🙏
I’m 21 when I got hit by a car in my bike my brain bled so much . Now I’m 22 still recovering . 3 inches from death if I hit the medal part of the car. God is telling me what foods to eat to help my brain health .
Highly informative. My significant other has this condition and when I met him I was unaware of both his existing condition and that this was even a thing. To my knowledge up until then, I had never had an intimate (personal) relationship with someone who had this condition via medical diagnosis. Over the year we spent together, most days were pure magic, but as of around 5+ months ago, I noticed him reverting and forgetting me and everything we had experienced. Luckily and Thankfully Gratefully The Most High made me an Artist, so I began to share the file of my personal photos and videos (that I use to vlog and save for my personal enjoyment) with him to assist with memory recall. Colors, pictures, memes, gifs, and short videos under 30 minutes seem to assist his brain in forming connections, but of course, if not practiced, we see what is happening now; the brain reverting (him forgetting). It’s tough because I’m already in love with him, but I was already feeling like my life became the movie “50 First Dates”. It’s not an unfavorable situation to be in, but it’s one that does leave real-world consequences, such as law enforcement involvement when he’s ‘too in his head’. I pray daily for him and pray that my art speaks to him across social media and the waking-world. Thank you for deepening my compassion and unconditional love. We have a saying that, “We Always Come Back Around”. Te amo, Amor de Mí Vida ❤❤❤👑
He is lucky to have you 💞 I had no one to advocate for me. But it just takes longer when you do it on your own. I found living amongst nature, out in the country helped me immensely. Because loud noises disrupt your brain function. Like living in the city. I still have problems living in the city 😢
Nice to hear i had tbi one year ago i m 43 and since i fight but i feel i miss the point of a change life thing . I still continue the same as much as i can but i guess this was a sign to me to see different perspectives in life . I m still looking for or maybe i m still a fraid to make a move in the unknown

My husband just had a bad wreck, he’s 24. He had a pretty severe TBI and brain bleeding as a result. Been about 2 weeks, his eyes open and he reacts to pain stimulation and stuff. But he hasn’t spoken or anything yet. We don’t know how much damage was done. I hope he’ll be ok.. just really really hard to deal with. Very difficult. Very upsetting.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm hoping that there's been some improvement since you last wrote this comment and am praying for you to find the strength to face each day. My friend too suffered from a severe TBI and double brain hemmorhage and has remained in a state of unconsciousness since her accident about a week ago. We are all very worried and are skeptical about the rate of her recovery, if there's to be any at all, since there hasn't been any response from her to any stimulation yet. I'm hoping there will come a day when she is back to being how she used to be before the accident.
When I woke up a week or so after my accident, I felt like I was in heaven 😅 so many pretty nurses taking care of me all the time. Must've been good drugs they gave me too cause I kept trying to get out of the bed to walk my dog despite having a ton of broken bones and a foot where the bone "exploded" and turned to jello. I also referred to the hospital as "the doctors house" according to my hospital records. Wasn't until I got out of the wheelchair 6 months later and started to walk again that I realized how much I just can't do anymore. Physically and mentally.
I suffered a Tramautic Brain injury from a car accident my brain cracked my skull had to be resuscitated twice, i suffered a stroke and was in a coma for 3 months like everybody here that commented life has never been the same!
before that happened I was totally asleep to where I was and it was almost the second month of being in the hospital so I guess it was a bad but good thing that happened to me still I was lost I get blow ups and I think Im learning how to control my blow ups finally my wreck for the TBI was in 1993.
So I had a T.B.I also i feel just like you, I have good days bad days I get lost a lot in my train of thought I have always been this way but even more so after I had got Covid
This kid is doing people a huge disservice. Believing doesn’t make something true. Attitude is very important, but it is by no means the sole mechanism of healing. Frankly, I think the only thing the TBI taught him is how to become a con-artist “motivational speaker.”

Carnivore diet, sleep twice a day, eat fish for omega 3 DHA, go back to your neurosurgeon if you have dementia symptoms so you could get meds

That was amazing to listen to!!
Brilliant….. authentic ! You are the real deal!
I was born at age 26.. After my bad car wreck and Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI).
My husband just had a bad wreck, he’s 24. He had a pretty severe TBI and brain bleeding as a result. Been about 2 weeks, his eyes open and he reacts to pain stimulation and stuff. But he hasn’t spoken or anything yet. We don’t know how much damage was done.
I hope he’ll be ok.. just really really hard to deal with. Very difficult. Very upsetting.
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm hoping that there's been some improvement since you last wrote this comment and am praying for you to find the strength to face each day.

Any update?
I’ll keep him in my prayers what’s his name ? I also had a horrible brain injury and Brian bled out . I am much better now Praise God .
Any update?
Respect to you 💪
Awesome job. Thank you!! ❤️😎
You are very strong and brave. Thank you for sharing your experience. I had a TBI as a baby(54 now) I have Epilepsy.
Cool Thoughts and so well delivered! So proud of you Ryan :)
Respect homie!
I love your message
When I woke up a week or so after my accident, I felt like I was in heaven 😅 so many pretty nurses taking care of me all the time. Must've been good drugs they gave me too cause I kept trying to get out of the bed to walk my dog despite having a ton of broken bones and a foot where the bone "exploded" and turned to jello. I also referred to the hospital as "the doctors house" according to my hospital records. Wasn't until I got out of the wheelchair 6 months later and started to walk again that I realized how much I just can't do anymore. Physically and mentally.
A strong support network like family and friends makes a world of difference. So does learning and keeping the mind active, assuming you're able to.
I suffered a Tramautic Brain injury from a car accident my brain cracked my skull had to be resuscitated twice, i suffered a stroke and was in a coma for 3 months like everybody here that commented life has never been the same!
Thank you for sharing~ perspective/attitude on a challenge is so powerful. Silver linings ~ run with them ⚡️
Amazing story!!!!!!!
awesome!!
Where do you find support for free in the middle of no-where?
before that happened I was totally asleep to where I was and it was almost the second month of being in the hospital so I guess it was a bad but good thing that happened to me still I was lost I get blow ups and I think Im learning how to control my blow ups finally my wreck for the TBI was in 1993.
So I had a T.B.I also i feel just like you, I have good days bad days I get lost a lot in my train of thought I have always been this way but even more so after I had got Covid
Total nightmare and people are so mean to you

This kid is doing people a huge disservice. Believing doesn’t make something true. Attitude is very important, but it is by no means the sole mechanism of healing. Frankly, I think the only thing the TBI taught him is how to become a con-artist “motivational speaker.”
So believing something makes one a con artist?
