    27 year TBI survivor here from a bad car wreck on 3/31/97... I was in the hospital for 26 days and in Physical Therapy for 18 months... I struggle with repeating myself,dysregulation,poor multitasking skills,poor short term memory etc... I attempted and failed at several careere post TBI-( Special Education Teacher,Car Salesman,911 Radio Dispatcher)... The combination of TBI issues,PTSD issues and Career Failures led to increased Depression,Anxiety and Suicidal Thoughts... I now have a somewhat decent quality of life... I FINALLY recieved SSDI-( Social Security Disability Income ) after 15 years,4 appeals and 3 attorneys... I now drive for a car dealership part time and build model cars as a hobby... These activities bring meaning to my life,help me deal with my TBI and PTSD issues,and improve my self esteem...

    Thank you for your service. Try having a brain injury without being a vet. You cannot find a doctor that will believe you.
    I wish you all the best in your recovery.

      Sorry should have said Men and Wemon gender has nothing to do with being a hero the true strength to be a hero starts in the heart not the gender, I have seen weak and strong hearts in both genders so there are heroes and villains on both sides of the coin
